...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.

I know someone who’s son’s partner tested positive, so the sone moved back in with his mum and sister. Needless to say, they all got it, and mum was more ill then the rest of them. I don’t know what she was thinking about!
Also my ex-boss, who had underlying health problems, died from the virus.

3 in my street. All under 70. A man of 56 was hospitalized the other 2 were able to stay at home. Happily he is still poorly but home and recovering now. The official death figure for my electoral area is 9. There are no care homes in this area.

7 I think. None of them that badly, and none hospitalized, and all recovered thank goodness.
2 in their 60's
3 in their 40's
2 children
Quite a few friends had a long lasting vicious cough around xmas time, and they are now wondering if they had the virus then.

Debs551964 Mon 22-Jun-20 10:13:17

Two. Sister and her BF. Both recovered both fit and healthy which helped. But boy were they poorly.

GranJan60 Mon 22-Jun-20 10:15:03

Three. Two are nurses. My son too Was quite ill but not hospitalised - he thinks he caught it from the children who had sore throats, fever and coughs. DIL soldiered on with lesser symptoms!

None personally , though 2 in our extended church community both recovered, and an aunt of another acquaintance who went into hospitsl for an operation , contracted the virus and died aged 99.5. I am in the South East

None - although we suspect my GD might well have had it in January before all hell broke losose as she had classic symptoms. If she did then the rest of the family escaped unscathed.

Gwenisgreat1 Mon 22-Jun-20 10:27:21

None, apart from 2 who think they had it.

sazz1 Mon 22-Jun-20 10:27:41

Confirmed cases 0
Unconfirmed 6 family members including myself.

BStP Mon 22-Jun-20 10:28:31

I know 2 people who caught it in April, both hospital NHS workers in their 50's, at 2 seperate hospitals. Neither were tested at the time which shocked me as I thought all NHS workers had been tested but both tested positive on the antibody test. Both recovered and back at work but still feeling v tired
We think we had it in Feb. DH was v poorly

Nanna58 Mon 22-Jun-20 10:31:19

None, and I’m in London too.

Christalbee Mon 22-Jun-20 10:31:34

None at all. Either with it, had it or died from it. My daughter is a fire fighter in the London and my Son in law in the Met Police. They don't know anyone either! I live in London and don't know anyone. Lucky I guess!

Tallyann1 Mon 22-Jun-20 10:31:58

Two ..both nhs staff one recovered one died ?

Keeper1 Mon 22-Jun-20 10:33:15

None I am in Lincolnshire

GrammarGrandma Mon 22-Jun-20 10:33:37

6, I suppose. One who caught it in hospital where she had an emergency gall bladder removal. One who was in intensive care for nearly seven weeks but is now getting better. One who was in hospital three months but is now home and recovering. The remaining three sadly died: friends' brother (60), friend's adult daughter (54) and friend's partner (age unknown). Different friends! No-one close to me but enough to keep me aware and cautious.

Thecatshatontgemat Mon 22-Jun-20 10:33:51

None.
I am well, all my friends are well (some are high risk) , all my work colleagues are well, and all my neighbours are well.
(West Sussex area)

Leolady73 Mon 22-Jun-20 10:35:37

My daughter and her boyfriend. First test said negative and took 13 days, then second positive with antibodies - so inefficient. Glad my daughter took sensible precautions so as not to ineffective others. Now two months later she is still having joint pain and fatigue.

Bobdoesit Mon 22-Jun-20 10:41:33

My best friend’s brother, his wife and two daughters. All tested positive. All well now, thank goodness. Another friend lost a friend of hers. So five in all and five too many as far as I’m concerned. Wish the flipping virus would die out before anyone else has to suffer from it.
