Do any Freepers know anyone with this virus? Or have it?
A friend of a friend has it. A nurse.
I dont but yes. One has a husband who has all the symptoms...i believe he was waiting for a test...his coworker got it ..tested positive..
“Do any Freepers know anyone with this virus?”
Asked and answered on a thread yesterday. Some said they do.
Our corporate office, two buildings over, announced a case. They didn’t tell us who.
There is another thread with numerous people who either had, know someone who has it, or i. The process of being tested.
I know someone in Worcester, Mass who “might” have it. Waiting for test results. She’s pretty sick.
There was a thread earlier, and FReepers were discussing, at least several knowing people with it, or who had it, etc.
I once knew someone named Cyrus. Does that count?
Yes. Next question?
I also know a guy in his 30's with. He's in ICU. His organs have shut down.
Any more stupid questions on your part?
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.
Yes, someone in my church congregation has it.
My cough and sniffles disappeared yesterday and I never did get a fever. I was told to report on Monday, but this is California so who knows?
I probably have it. I suspect my mother does as well.
I live in NYC
20 aunts and uncles
41 first cousins
about 20 good friends
don’t know anyone who knows anyone
Seriously?
Yes. In NW Georgia.
Yes. One of our good friends got the results of the test a few days ago. For other members of her household, some have symptoms and some don't. (So far.)
They live about 50 mi. from NYC. Big family. Great, great people. Please pray for their rapid recovery.
Nope
Yes, I do know someone.
Guessing you were hoping not to get a yes answer.
