I personally only know of one person that has tested positive for Covid-19 and she recovered fully after about two weeks. Can you tell us more about the people you know that died due to Covid-19? General demographic info, like sex, age, that type of thing.

My good friend is a healthy & fit 24-yr old male. He bikes about 60-80miles every week, doesn't smoke or drink (ever), has no medical conditions, and takes no medication. He had a mild case a few weeks ago— tested positive for antibodies, felt like a really nasty flu plus trouble breathing but felt mostly better in 2 weeks. He is having persistent symptoms that are really affecting his day-to-day life. He experiences serious fatigue about two days a week, to the point where it's difficult to work, and has occasional brain fog.

It's really scary, I'm worried for him. And now I really don't want to get it.

Just throwing this out there: Persistent symptoms are correlated with low vitamin D levels which are common.

I know 2 people with older relatives who died. My wife's grandmother caught it in a nursing home and remained asymptomatic the best we could tell (she has dementia). Other people around her in the nursing did die from the virus.

I know of multiple people in their 20s-30s-40s who have said it's the worst sickness they have ever felt. Some others who were really sick for a day or 2 and now seem fine.

I'm not a doomsday person, but it's something I'd like to avoid rolling the dice on (and I do have fear of older relatives catching it). Then there are the possible long term health effects still unknown. Unfortunately for whatever reason people have to be scared into taking the simple, basic precautions.

I cannot share details due to HIPAA, other than one was not in an at risk group. The other was. Additionally, some individuals who have gotten ill have "recovered" as in they aren't going to the doctor/hospital, but still cannot walk long distances or think clearly months later.

The thing about the disease is that it attacks some people much much more severely than others. We do not know why yet, but I'm positive that we'll eventually find out there are biological reasons (blood type, genetics, Vit D levels, etc).

Coworker died. Was male, 38, no comorbidities. Left two small kids behind who probably won't remember him.

No. Facts are facts.
