Several people on here have posted first hand claims or anecdotes about one or two degrees of separation.

Given the small numbers of infected and the small number of FReepers active, I have my doubts that any FReepers have really had a confirmed case, been treated, recovered and are out of quarantine. I could be wrong, but why didn’t they post about it during the event, like while they were recovering in a hospital?

I do see a couple FluBros making claims they had it and recovered and it was “just the flu” but I attribute that to panic over the destruction of their narrative rather than fact.

The number of active FReepers is probably in the low hundreds, if that, but let’s say 200 for easy math. The number of confirmed infected is 16,638, or roughly 1 in 20,000 Americans. The odds of a single individual being in both groups is pretty small, around 1%. That’s a 1% chance that *any* FReeper has been confirmed, treated, etc. And then they’d have to be at the right point in the process to be on here telling war stories.

Good post. Your tagline says it all:

Don’t panic. Prepare and be vigilant.

Actually, I did discuss it with a FRiend but in private mail as it wasn’t for public consumption to be torn to shreds by flubros.

Hehe, yea, I'm sure that what they would do.

FluBros, says a member of the Corona Cheerleaders.

Come to think of it, how is ‘their narrative’ being destroyed?
