    I am curious to know...how many people on here -have someone they know or are related that has had the virus, have recovered or died. Neighbors coworkers anyone you personally know.
    Just make short notation not full details.
    Us..one customer of husband's wife died early on. Three far away relatives of someone we know..all recovering.

    One of my family members was hospitalized with the virus and cured with HCQ but in the mean time we had numerous family members die from heart attack, cancer, but was not written up in all the news papers.

    I don't know if you had watched the video show that the increase of tests are showing more virus and if the death rate does not go up that is the greatest news you could hear that mean the virus is not as dangerous as the media have said. It will soon be less deadly than the flu but the media want you scared.

    The reason one will not know is that, as @Ken Anderson indicated, people will be dying from the Corona Virus even if it’s the flu.

    But in answer to Gloria, no, of all the people I know and see each day, I do not know of anyone who has even been sick beyond a cold or hay fever over the last 5 or so months.

    From about a month ago: CDC says possibly less than half of positive antibody tests are correct. -- Forbes

    You may have read that researchers in China have discovered a new type of swine flu that is capable of triggering a pandemic, according to a study in the US science journal PNAS, and needs to be monitored closely.
    The new influenza virus "dubbed G4 [...]is a unique blend of three lineages: one similar to strains found in European and Asian birds, the H1N1 strain that caused the 2009 pandemic, and a North American H1N1 that has genes from avian, human, and pig influenza viruses." So let's hope for the best.

    I have one acquaintance who insists she had it but, when pressed on the issue, she's never been tested, and she's fine. Seemingly, she had a cold a month or so ago and really wanted to be a part of the new fad that has taken the nation by storm. Shortly after this began, a Millinocket resident came back from China and tested positive for the Coronavirus. He was seen in the hospital for it and told to self-quarantine for two weeks, but he never did. He attended meetings in town and regularly shopped in the stores, and so on. Since he was part of a group my wife was in, she even hugged him after he returned but before he was tested. This was before the mask fad, but no one else has tested positive for the virus in Millinocket.
