I know 5 people who have tested positive, all had fairly minor symptoms.
One lost their taste/ smell, another said it felt like a bad cold.

I also indirectly know 3 people who have committed suicide and one more who was (thankfully) unsuccessful, all since March 2020.
Root cause in all 4 situations were bankruptcies/ lay offs, all left families behind.

Take care of each other out there.

I don’t follow all of this covid stuff too closely but thought this was interesting...

Friends girlfriend tests positive for covid, they’ve been together nearly every day since January 2021. After she gets positive test, my friend stops seeing her in person. He gets tested 4 days later, negative. Tests again 7 days after his girlfriends test and negative again. We both figure he must of had covid asymptotically before this? Has anyone else heard of cases like this where people have been in very close contact and one is covid free?

Yes I have a coworker who’s wife caught Covid and both him and his infant daughter managed not to get it

[BavarianBeast]

Interesting.. so my friend didn’t start dating this gal until august of 2020.. So he may of had it before without knowing. Was there a case with your coworker where he didn’t see his wife and could of had it?

[adam c]

Doubt it, they live together and both took care of their infant

However I have another coworker where the whole house caught Covid

[Disoblige]

Friend got Covid last week.
Girlfriend didn't have symptoms, got tested on Friday (5 days later) and negative. They think she got Covid same time but asymptomatic.

Could just be your friend wasn't contagious enough early on and got symptoms -> tested relatively quickly so she wasn't exposed enough to catch it.

[BavarianBeast]

Yeah that’s certainly possible. I didn’t think of him being infected prior to her as she was certain where the exposure was from because a coworker tested positive, but it could be a possibility.

Friend of mines wife tested positive, 5 or 6 days later he and their 4 kids tested negative.

Heard tons of cases like this. My neighbor across the street tested positive. She is a nurse with AHS, they had a big breakout at work. Her husband and kid stayed with her in the house the entire time, they had shared drinks together, kissed, etc. The husband and kid were getting tested every few days and continued to test negative. She said she lost her sense of smell, no other symptoms, so seems like she was a legit positive test and not a false positive.

Covid is a weird fucking virus.

Repeat: I'm pretty sure I had it really early on, didn't want to come forward because couldn't be sure. Dick is still intact.

But I had the most annoying dry throat frog for months. Thank the allmighty for mouth wetting mints.

My daughter caught one of the variants and started showing symptoms last weekend when I had her. Everyone in my house tested negative on the first test as did everyone in her mom's house.

Friend had to visit mom at care home and works, so he tested often before each visit. Symptomatic and tested positive, then kids and wife are tested positive but asymptomatic.

Dad's church pastor and wife got the vid, pastor symptomatic but otherwise fine and stayed at home. Wife still on ventilator and she's considered to be healthier one of the 2.

This is like your #2 catch phrase. "Real estate is my favorite asset class" obviously being #1.

After 13 months, our kids finally had a close contact quarantine. One of their classmates was in school last Monday while positive. Our kids tested negative. Nobody else in the class tested positive so far.

Calgary wise, several friends and colleagues tested positive in the last couple of weeks. Worst case was one person kept under and on ventilator for 2 weeks, now he's relearning how to walk, still sick as shit, puking but alive. Early 40's.

India is so fucked it's depressing right now. 3 deaths within coworkers family in the last 3 work days. Of the coworkers that caught it, ~2/3 of the cases the entire household caught it. The others are isolated to 1 or 2 people.
