How many deaths do you know of?

[Granolaslice]

I don’t know anyone personally who has died of this.
I know people who have tested positive. Both are nurses and both have had really mild symptoms.
I also think me and my partner had it close to lockdown starting. There are a couple of other people I know who ‘think’ they’ve had it too.
But I know no one who has died of it and don’t know anyone who knows anyone who has died of it!

I know of 2- parents of people I know, both in their 90s and both caught it whilst in hospital for other (routine) appointments.

It’s such a weird thing. My colleagues mum had it. Lived in a tiny house with five other people and not one of them showed any symptoms of it. It’s so random.

1 death locally. Someone I knew in passing. A lady in her early 40s with 2 young teen children.
3 others are confirmed cases. A 47 year old.marathon runner spent 3 weeks in hospital on oxygen not ICU. He was admitted to hospital 26th March. He's now home but unable to walk upstairs due to lung damage. He struggles to hold a conversation. He can sit in his chair and wave through the window but he struggles to stand and wave still. His bed has been moved downstairs and he has to use a commode as the only toilet in the house is upstairs. No previous underlying health conditions. A previous very fit bloke. Does every fun run, marathon locally for charities. It's absolutely shocking how 2 and a half months on he's still chair and bed bound. Not many people talk of the on going after effects of this illness but they are life changing in some people.
I also know a mid 50s bloke and a 58 year old woman. They went down with it at Easter. Again, they are still not well. Very breathless. Still at home and needing help with basic tasks. They now think the husband has suffered some kidney damage.
No one I know has had it, been in bed a week and bounced back which has had an impact on my thinking about how I lead my life. I'm losing the plot still in lockdown here but kind of glad in other ways we're not out and about as in England.

It's mad as I was in Vietnam and had no plans to return to the UK until the Pandemic was declared in March. I've gone from one extreme to the other. I hope I relax more as time goes by but what I've witnessed is horrifying.

I know 5 people who have died

I’ve also got a friend who is really ill with it. He is in his early 40s but has lots of underlying health problems. He has been in and out of hospital 3 times in 8 weeks. They have now found a mass in his lungs which wasn’t there previously. I’m very worried about him both physically and mentally. He is convinced it’s going to kill him.

I know several other people who have had it and are still struggling with their health. Mainly breathing problems that come and go.

3 who have died between age 50 and 70. Several who have had it including one who was hospitalized

I know a couple who both had confirmed cases mildly (would have gone to work under other circumstances kind of mild) and sadly a lovely man in his 90s who died with Covid.

1. One of which I knew personally. 1 is a relative of theirs.

My mums cousin

I know nobody who has had it or died from it.
A friend works in healthcare and their team, not frontline but all patient facing, were all antibody tested. All negative, no antibodies except for one person who vaguely remembers a week or two of feeling a bit tired and things tasting a bit odd

I know 3 people who have died and 19 who have survived, including myself. Of the survivors 3 are still struggling with their health.

Nobody.

I live in a Birmingham hotspot, have lots of relatives and colleagues and have 2 kids at different schools.

I added the last part because on a previous thread when a poster said she knew of nobody who'd died from it, another poster was in disbelief and said the other poster must not live in a high risk area, with few friends, family, colleagues and that she must know somebody - such as the kids' teachers, classmates, who had died, and that if she really thought about it, she'd know somebody.

Oh, I don't know anybody who's had it either.

Two. FIL’s best friend, and my dad’s cousin’s husband and.

None personally, well 1 friend of a friend of a friend. More than 200 in the, small, hospital where I work.

As well as the three people who died, I also know of at least 10 who presume they've had it based on their symptoms. All under 40, and three - all women - are still suffering long term post viral effects.

My uncle died. In a care home. He was "young" for a covid death at 73 but did have dementia. And my colleagues mum who was elderly.

Six who have died. I did the funerals of four of them. Another one who died from cancer when her treatment was suspended. I know a lot of people who have had it. Two are struggling with symptoms months after they got it.Also one remarkable 85 year old who was in hospital for 9 weeks and is making an good recovery. He has so many underlying conditions we thought we would lose him.

In the nearest hospital near to me (not supposed to be small) less than 125 people died from end March to start June. Only 5/123 deaths were people under 50. Over 3/4 were described as having underlying health conditions (including all of the 3 women in their 30s who died, the youngest of the deaths).\

I'm wondering if a lot of you are talking about the same people, so they are getting double counted in this thread.

I don't know anybody who has died, I know 2 people who have had it and bounced back within a week, a 32 year old man and his 68 year old mum.
I live in Birmingham suburbs, near to Heartlands Hospital.

None. I don't even know anyone who's had it.

None.
But I know two people who have died of cancer and two who have committed suicide since March 😞
💐 to those who have lost a loved one.

In the UK, one close family member. And I know of 4 tested people who have had the virus in my close friendship group in 3 different areas of the UK.

In the country where I live- Italy- I don't know anyone who has died or had the virus. But I'm in the south and the region I'm in has currently only 4 cases.

My MIL died. Aged 58. She was diagnosed with an unusual form of cancer in February but died with Covid at the end of March, just as the lockdown was implemented.

I don’t personally know anyone who has died from it.

I don't know anyone personally who has had it.

I know someone whose elderly mother died of it.

I follow a couple of people on social media who've had it and haven't really recovered very well/at all and appear to have different symptoms flare up every week or so. One has had it since the middle of March.
