Would not know how to answer. A distant cousin in his late 70's passed last week. He had been in the hospital for a few weeks for pneumonia and other related issues. He supposedly tested positive for the Kung-Flu AFTER HE DIED.

Other then that, nobody.

From what I understand, unless you die from massive bleeding because somebody cut your head off, cause of death will be related to Wuhan Flu.

I get ya, problem is that older folks who have other problems that they were sick from before this hit would be termed a COVID19 death..... they could have died from the common cold or flu if they were to catch it..

I know two people who each claim to know 3 different people who died from iit BUT from what I can tell it's more like some facehole friends posted about someone else's fathers or sisters who died of it in another state.

My daughter has it, tested + ten days ago and was holding her own up until weds. when she ended up in the hospital. She s now in the ICU and may have to put on a vent. they told me only 80% survive that. I can't see her, talk to her to tell her how much I love her, nothing but feeling totally helpless.

I'm sorry to hear that. You should read this: https://www.foxnews.com/media/califo...-to-treat-them

“You can predict on presentation who is going to be at risk for it and then if you follow certain markers and their clinical course you can actually tell who is going to develop it and, more importantly, you can intervene to prevent them from getting to that point where they need a ventilator,” Yadegar said.

Coworkers wife was tested positive second week into lock down, she is an ER nurse in Hudson WI
the hospitals protective standards in the beginning were absolutely crap

I have tested positive for antibodies. Must have had it some time in March when I was in Florida. Martin county was touting that they had only one confirmed case. Guess they were wrong. My symptom were very mild. Mostly dry cough and loss of taste.

Does Tom Hanks count? Don't know him personally but I hear him and his wife had it.

I might have had it but haven't taken any test. Had a bug with a low grade fever and had trouble breathing for a couple of hours. Had to put a gallon zip lock bag of ice on my neck/chest to be able to breath normally until it passed. This was a couple of weeks before I had that tumor removed.

Now I do have heat induced/exercise asthma but have only had it act up when I'm working outside in the summer. I never noticed it until in my mid 20's. It hasn't even been much of a problem unless it's real hot and no wind blowing. Use to ride 25 miles 5 times a week with an average speed of 20-22mph and a sprint speed of 38mph, back in my 20's. So it wasn't a serious problem. It was more of a problem when I was working with the temp over 90 deg. and no wind blowing. When it would flare up I'd sit down and drink some cold water or cold Gatoraid and chill for 10-15min. and then get back to work.
I do notice it being more of a problem the older I get though.

It's hard to tell with the inaccuracy of available testing. Very good friend got ill about a month ago. This was a 56 year old male in very good condition. Was taken to hospital and tested negative for covid on Monday. Was diagnosed with a severe respiratory infection. Was put in a coma and on a ventilator and was dead within 36 hours. Lived in Wyoming out in the sticks with very little outside contact. I have not heard autopsy reports if an autopsy was even done. Great guy and I am gonna miss him. Other than that I know of none. We have had 68 confirmed in our county and 3 dead all of which were fairly old.

At least two from my office had the virus, and one death of a test technician at a factory I go to in Mexico.

That's awful, I can't even imagine how you feel right now. 80% never sounds good when you're in this situation, but it really is a pretty high probability. So we'll all hope she pulls through. Take care, stay positive.
