I'm starting to get skeptical. The number of videos available showing empty hospital rooms in major cities and the fact that I keep asking everyone I know, who knows someone that has this virus and I can't find anyone.

So, I thought I'd take a quick poll. Ignoring celebrity news reports do you have first hand knowledge (not heard it from a friend of a friend or read it on social media) of someone who tested positive for the coronavirus (not I had a soar throat, cough and trouble breathing, but someone with a positive test for coronavirus) and what was their outcome? If you know multiple - list how many.

1) I don't know anyone personally that has the coronavirus.
2) I know someone who tested positive for coronavirus, but only had mild symptoms.
3) I know someone who tested positive and went to the ER, discharged the same day and is doing better now.
4) I know someone who tested postive for coronavirus, was in the hospital for multple days, but survived or is expected to survive.
5) I know someone who tested positive for coronavirus, had to be put on a ventilator, but has survived.
6) I know someone who tested positive for coronavirus and is currently on a ventilator and we don't know the outcome.
7) I know someone who tested positive for coronavirus, had to be put on a ventilator and died.
8) I know someone who tested positive for coronavirus and was never put on a ventilator that died.

7. An older lady who does consulting work for my company died of Coronavirus a few days ago (in Houston). Her husband still has it. Also, the mother of someone we know from Church lives in New Orleans and has it.

Not to derail this thread, but I believe we know the same woman. Very sad to hear, as she worked with us as well for many years. Praying her husband continues to recover.

She is my 7 as well.

My wife's uncle's dad and uncle both tested positive. uncle died Monday. The dad was in ICU but doing better now. Both in San Antonio.

Brother in law's uncle also has it and is in coma on vent, but his oxygen levels have been improving and they are hopeful he will survive. Supposedly he was given "experimental" meds (unsure of its remdisvir, Chloroquine, or something else)

Sorry I didn't follow rules:

One thing to keep in mind is how quickly this can take off. 2 weeks ago, NYC had 3 deaths. Today they will likely exceed 400. I'm sure the hospitals were empty 2 weeks ago but today they are running out of beds even after moving non-Covid patients out of the city.

Think about those empty hospitals as the calm before the storm. So far the models have been pretty spot on and they show many US cities being overwhelmed in the coming weeks.

2. My next door neighbor has it. Late 30s woman with fever and body aches, but not worthy of going to the hospital. The only reason she was able to get a test is because she's a doctor.
