Well my Uncle died, my dad got REALLY ill and we thought he was gonna die too, my mum was kinda sick, me and my sister had mild symptoms and my brother was probably asymptotic.

Personally, no, however I know a handful of hospital doctors, several ICU nurses, and my dad's wife is a community ANP who works with the elderly and has had to sign countless death certificates since March. It obviously is real.

However, it's a bit of both. There have been plenty of genuine Covid deaths. But yes there have also been deaths of other respiratory causes (flu, bacterial lung infections, non-covid-related pneumonia) that have been assumed to be Covid but are not. That's simply because, if you can't be totally sure, it's better to over-inflate than under-estimate.

[Toy Soldier]

I would say though, all the deaths I've heard about directly have been in the over-65's category. Younger people dying of Covid does happen, but it's (in my opinion) significantly less common than the press often makes out.

Hope you’re okay lovely<3

So sorry for your loss darling x

My friends mum died aged 43, my aunt, uncle and cousin all got it and 5 clients from where I work passed away.

It's not a hoax.

My job deals with quite a lot of death certificates. All thru April and most of May roughly three out of five had the cause of death as Covid 19. Its definitely real.

It's my opinion that this was all a hoax and a scam. We destroyed our economies over nothing. It's been some time since I last checked these forums and I was wondering if anyone here knows someone (or knows someone who knows someone) who has gotten seriously ill from Covid-19.

So 60,000 people in this country have died as a result of a 'hoax' get real !

[smudgie]

46 year old hospital porter that worked with a good friend died.
We are pretty sure our daughter had it, she went to the docs in February, had blood tests for whooping cough then they lost the sample.
Confirmed cases were found at the surgery and they had to shut down.
She has been really ill for months, just getting back on her feet this past few weeks but still gets breathless at little exertion.
Very frightening times for all of us.

I think the opposite is true. I'm reasonably sure there are many in care homes that arent being recorded. Many registrars have only just started producing death certificates after lockdown

[bitontheslide]

i don't think 50k additional deaths in 6 weeks could be considered overblown. It's also a particularly grim way to go

[JerseyWins]

- My uncle died from it
- Very distant relative died from it who I didn't know at all but heard about
- My dad had it pretty bad but he recovered and is doing well
- One of my best friends had it
- Other friend's mom had it
- My sister checked afterwards for antibodies & was told she had it
- ~5-10 others who I've heard have it that family & friends know, a few that died
- I maybe/prob had it too as I had symptoms around the same time as everyone else but I never did check then or now

Very real & dangerous... and actually feels toooooo widespread in NJ/my area (and NY ofc) but maybe it's a location-to-location thing. I know many areas around the states/world are mostly fine

[JerseyWins]

Sometimes I feel like practically everyone has gotten it and it's just that many don't show symptoms But idk cause my other uncle got tested and he never had it despite living in the same household

Then a friend who was a Nurse who contracted it while working caring for others with this detestable virus.

So yes.

Sorry to hear about your losses guys. Love to you all.

I'm thankful not to have known anybody to die from coronavirus, but a lot of my family members have had it, some with symptoms and some without who only found out after being tested.

To be fair, there are worse ways, most of the deaths are under sedation so you wouldn't even know it was happening. Also (I suppose to add to the grim) respiratory failure in some form has always been a common cause of death in the very elderly.

[JerseyWins]

Ty & indeed sorry to everyone else who has lost anyone from this. Such a tragic virus </3

[Strictly Jake]

I dont know of anyone personally but I know some in my local hospital have died from it


I really do think I had it in January. The cough I had was really really bad I coughed so often my whole chest felt bruised and I kept having headaches and then all my family had coughs around that time shortly after

Thank you Ashley.
Your kind words are appreciated.

May I also please say to anyone on here who has lost a family member, friend or contact.
How sorry I am they have and how I can understand the loss felt.

It's all desperately sad and a cruel way for life to end before its time.
Thinking of you all.

[caprimint]

Yeah I'm pretty sure I had it in February too. It was really horrible to deal with feeling nauseous all the time so much that it was really difficult to sleep, feeling dizzy, fever and headaches. I only had it for 3-4 days but I couldn't move from the bed and I've never had anything so bad before. Definitely see how/why it effects older people so much too

[LaLaLand]

I was “unwell” for a week in mid-February iirc..

I couldn’t pinpoint what it was but I thought it was just a random bug or something I’d eaten. All I can explain it as was like the feeling you get when you’re “coming down with something” but never actually getting to the result if that makes sense? Hot/cold sensations, shivery and a slightly scratchy throat that would usually worsen at night. No cough, no typical “fever” or anything like that. Also still had my appetite which is the first to usually go if I am unwell.

Weird thing though, I lost my sense of taste/smell for three days and thought it was the strangest sensation. Just as if food was a texture In your mouth. Was intentionally trying pungent foods to see if I could taste them (Ginger Biscuits for example) but nothing at all happened.

Back then I/we didn’t know it was a Covid symptom. I do now of course... Thankfully I didn’t go ANYWHERE that week so if it was this horrible virus I didn’t pass it on (hopefully).

[Toy Soldier]

I get full loss of smell and taste every time I get a cold so I'd never be able to tell from that symptom. It is a horrible thing though. It seems like such a minor symptom or like you'd barely notice but loss of sense of smell, I find, is REALLY disorientating. I guess humans must rely on it more than we think we do? The best way I can describe it is that the world feels sort of flat and two-dimensional.

I didn't actually read the OP before but jfc.

Anyone who has lived through this year and is trying to deny the reality of things are beyond help. You're not interested in facts, you want to be comforted by a nice lie. Tell the hundreds of thousands of people that have died that it's a hoax, go yell at the loved ones they laughed behind that their grief is a hoax.

People are dying, it's honestly gross how many Americans are basically brainwashed into thinking that the economy outweighs the value of human life, these same people who value the economy over life are the same people who will screech All Lives Matter despite being willing to sacrifice the elderly for a ****ing haircut a few weeks back.
