People in same family dying

[Hotlungs]

Why is it that in several reported cases there have been two family members dying/getting seriously ill? I was thinking genetics but there have been husband and wife cases too. Why could this be?

@PyongyangKipperbang we're not far from mickleover at all.
It was very sad. I read about it on our local Facebook page before it was published in the local paper. My thoughts are definitely with that poor family.

Mine too, it was shocking enough anyway but to find out they live (relatively) just around the corner was somehow too close to home iykwim.

@PyongyangKipperbang most definitely. We lost a nurse from the community mental health team last week. That's when it really hit home for me. So so sad 😢

@Greggers2017 My DD is an ODP at Derby and I am terrified for her, even though she is one of the (lucky) few that actually has full PPE.
