I’ve know probably 20 people that have gotten it and been fine since this thing started. The seriousness has been from only losing taste and smell to ending up in the hospital for shorter stays. Luck ran out last week and a coworker of the last 15 years and my wife’s grandmother both passed away from it. They were both high risk and it killed them both within a week. I know a lot of you have already had it. Those of you at higher risk take care of yourselves.

I have an appointment this morning to get my 1st shot.

I think we’re up to at least six deaths at work. It’s for real.

Sorry for your losses.
I’m being very diligent in protecting my wife...we’ve had a couple close calls but so far so good. It’s killed 9 people that I know and another is currently on a ventilator battling for his life. My mom, sister, and nephew are all on week 2 of having it. All sound horrible but so far no hospital visits have been needed... thankfully, since Tarrant County is at 97% hospital capacity as of yesterday.

My sister in laws parents are both 87 years old and as frail as anyone I know. They both tested positive Dec 26 and have no symptoms at all. According to everything you read, they should be deader than a doornail but they are planning a trip to Florida to visit relatives as soon as their quarantine is over.

To all of the anti maskers, are you reading this? as nothing to do with mask some will have no symptoms some will die. I have friends who are RN nurses who refuse to wear the mask she says mask are absolutely useless in this. When you have RN nurse who won't wear them and work next to this virus, that says it all for me. My Dr has had it and same thing he says mask are useless to. I am sorry but to much disinformation in all of this. I guess will can all just take placebo pills to. They are about as much use in this as mask
