Two in our village, they went to a match at Twickenham before lockdown.
They are fine now.

A friend and ex neighbour. She was in her 70's,had Parkinson's and recently entered a care home where she contracted Covid and died.

My mother‘s cousin died of CV at the end of March. He was in his 80’s.

A friend’s husband caught it in the dementia unit where he lives. He was quite poorly for some weeks but seems recovered, although he doesn’t have the language now to describe how he feels.

Several of my dd’s friends have had it, all in their 20’s, but they’re all hospital doctors so that’s not really a surprise. All recovered without treatment.

0 in my area. I do know of a young doctor [son of my Spanish teacher] who had it mildly, but he wasn't from this area.

My daughter's partner is an NHS worker. He was terribly ill back in February but not diagnosed. Recently he had a blood test that showed he had Covid antibodies so it's possible that that's what made him ill back then but he'll never know for sure.

A colleague's sister has just tested positive, otherwise none.

At least ten people including myself and my DH, varying ages from twenties to early nineties. None went to hospital, most had it mildly and all are better now.

None, there is a very low incidence of the virus in our area, but am glad to say that I don't know of anyone elsewhere either.

One, a very active lady in her late seventies. She didn't know she had it until she was admitted to hospital.
Her GP had been treating her with steroids and antibiotics for an asthma flare up and chest infection.
She was over the worst by the time she was taken to hospital and sent home quite quickly.

However, it was about six weeks before she began to feel better.

3
All aged in their 40s. Caught it early on.

My cousin has tested positive just last week. She works in a care home. My mum's cousin who was in a different care home, but caught it in hospital and died last month. He had underlying health problems as well though.

...who actually have, or had, Covid19? Not just people who say they’re ‘ sure they had it’, but definite cases. I only know of two, one who contracted it in hospital following admission for a broken hip, and another who died in a care home.

Please try not to drift ‘ off topic’, as I’m really interested to hear your answers to the question.
