There have been 6 cases in my road alone.

ElephantWhaleRabbit · 20/12/2020 20:32

3 - a male relative in his early 80s, a female relative in her early 60s and a male relative in his mid 60s.

The first died at home after refusing treatment - he was also being treated for underlying health conditions.

Other two were ill but fully recovered within two weeks.

Covidrelapse · 20/12/2020 20:32

More than 30 but hcp and mainly staff/teachers

ThisMustBeMyDream · 20/12/2020 20:32

Gosh. Loads. Lost count. Well over 100.

Packlunchhell · 20/12/2020 20:32

1 my sister , health care worker , she was lucky and said it was like bad flu

Lumene · 20/12/2020 20:33

20 or 30 including partner’s work colleagues.

Beecham · 20/12/2020 20:33

Approx 15 - if you include those who think they had it in March/April when there wasn't testing.

Calyx72 · 20/12/2020 20:33

Including myself, 8. One of which is the husband of my colleague who died of it last week, he was 48. He had Crohns disease but noone thought he would die of covid.
(I know of many more, I work patient facing NHS, but those are the ones I personally know.)

Thehogfatherstolemycurry · 20/12/2020 20:33

Lost count, 20+
1 died, 2 hospitalised for weeks on end, 1 hospitalised for a few days, a good handful very poorly but kept at home, the rest mild/no symptoms

SlipperyLizard · 20/12/2020 20:34

Personally? 2, me & DH. Probably DDs too but didn’t get them tested as no symptoms.

I know about relatives of friends who have tested positive.

I know others who “probably” had it back when you couldn’t get tested.

hopeishere · 20/12/2020 20:34

Two. One in the summer and one person yesterday.

However it's irrelevant as the % of the population who has had it is tiny. The issue once again is protect the NHS. It simply could not deal with a large number of very sick people. And the more it spreads the more likely that becomes.

bumblingbovine49 · 20/12/2020 20:35

5
1 died of it mid 50s
1 in March/April recovered at home ,ill for about a month age 28
1 in her 80s in hospital now
1 in a care home aged 103- survived and is fine now!
1 in his 70s, diabetic, heart condition. Recovered after a month including a short hospital admission

Newnamefor2021 · 20/12/2020 20:35

I've lost count, over 20, 2 dead. Probably over 30. My husband had it too.

canyon2000 · 20/12/2020 20:35

0 - I don't know anyone that has had Covid.

Coffeeandcookies · 20/12/2020 20:35

About 6 in my work (secondary school), 2 in my kids' primary school, 3 acquaintances and 1 in my family.

None hospitalised, one with lingering tiredness a few weeks later, rest fine.

Worriedandabitscared · 20/12/2020 20:36

None personally for me but about 4 or 5 friends of friends - I've known a lot of people to die this year though more so than in previous years but they weren't directly covid related

Shieldingending · 20/12/2020 20:36

11 just from work ! I'm a teacher ... a few other friends / friends of friends

ivykaty44 · 20/12/2020 20:36
