Any freepers out there who have this bug and/or know someone who has it? I don’t.

Not personally, but my daughter’s officemate’s mother has this bug. But I don’t know him. The fact that he works with my daughter has me worried. Luckily they’re all told to work from home.

I used to go to a wonderful church when I lived and work in the Philippines. This church is now meeting online during Sundays as two of their members, a husband and wife caught the bug ( both doing well ).
Yes. A lawyer in his 40s. Not doing well.
Not personally either here. But know of an individuals boss who traveled to Europe and Dubai for 2 weeks. Lives in Philly. Tested positive. Has had worst symptoms for a week, now feeling a whole lot better. Was/is home the entire time.
My daughter's been treating them in her ER for a week or so. Last count, her hospital's up to 18 so far who have tested positive.
Oh, and thanks to US letting China be the prime manufacturer, they're short on N95 surgical masks. Staff are issued a single mask per person, per day.
I don’t know anyone with the virus but there were supposed to be two at one of our local hospitals. On Monday, they listed my state as having 10 cases.
Another friend was with the guy a week ago Tuesday and with me a week ago Thursday. He started showing symptoms on Friday. Has had very mild symptoms except for a splitting headache and sore throat. He was tested Monday but they told him yesterday it will be next week before he gets results. So here we sit, in quarantine. We would likely be sick by now if we were going to get a strong case. My husband and I (and our kids) have all had sore throats. The kids (in their 30s) have had headaches but all of us are fine.
An illness has been going around at my work since late February. Today one of the majority of us who have been sick for several weeks with mild symptoms, tested positive. As far as I know, this person was only tested because they may have had direct contact a week or so ago with someone else who recently tested positive-- it is not because they have suddenly developed serious symptoms. I strongly suspect all of us in my workplace who have had this mystery illness (the few who bothered to go to doc were negative for flu, one was positive for strep though) have been fighting Covid-19 and just didn't know it. Symptoms were variable but not severe, most had moderate fever for a couple of days initially, some had sore throat/sinus pain/headache initially, but fever only lasted a day or two, then just a lingering fatigue, a mild dry cough, mild bronchitis/sinusitis that hangs on forever. I actually felt better the last two days than I have in weeks, like my strength is coming back, but what I have had is a mild illness. I've been instructed to not come to work for two weeks and self-isolate and watch for serious symptoms; if symptomatic I am to self-quarantine and seek medical help.
A friend of mine has a cousin who has it. She is a personal trainer in NYC. One of her clients is an ER nurse and another man (late 80s) who comes into the gym had just gotten back from Italy had it. He died two days ago. It was unclear whether she trained him or not. She was in the ER but not hospitalized. I presume late 40s-early 50s.
Both have been sick for about 10 days and counting.
