I mean, I obviously can't prove it, especially not on this greatbort, but unless literally everyone is lying to me, it's at least a dozen. I live in a fairly crowded metro area, for what it's worth.

I don't know what to say. I know hundreds of people through work, with a bunch of contacts in 5 different states. I have tons of family and friends across the country in many supposedly hard hit cities, and I'm not sure anyone has even mentioned knowing someone who had it, much less contracted it themselves. I spoke to the bartender a couple days ago and he said nobody in their whole restaurant group had ever gotten it.

Ok then, I don't know anyone who's tested positive, or got sick and likely had it. I can't know that none of these people got it, but I think the point still stands.

Not to mention, people who are asymptomatic can still spread it to other people who might actually come down with it. In March I might have been able to understand the "this is a fraud" play, but at this point, it's definitely serious. And ljl if you think this administration could orchestrate a conspiracy on this scale.

90%+ of ppl dont notice they even have it, and for those that do notice it is indistinguishable from a moderate cold, yeah sounds very serious and scary and real

if you trust what you are told on CNN that is fine, but understand that some of us do not trust them and would rather come to our own conclusions thsn rely on Brian Stetler and Don Lemmings etc.

I don't fully trust what I see on TV or on the internet. I'm just saying that I personally know many people who have come down with it, and one died. If literally everyone is lying to me, then so be it, but that's not where I am right now.

In all seriousness I'm not saying "virus = fraud" I'm more curious how the hell this is getting spread. Like if, say, of the 662 new cases in Arkansas yesterday, 250 were all a close knit black community that attended Ray Ray's bbq last weekend. Because I don't understand how the numbers have gotten to where they are without coming anywhere close to me IRL. That is what I find puzzling.

same here. neither does my mother, who is a minor boomer celeb and is in contact with hundreds of them every week. neither does my sister who is a doctor.

Yeah one guy. He had high fever, puking every hour or so etc. Lasted like 2 weeks. Said he was so oxygen deprived he thought he was going to die. Updating his will and shit. He recovered tho. Didnt go to the hospital even though he should have. I think this is the case for many who dont go to the hospital and then die at home without being counted in the stats. The real death numbers are probably close to 1M in the US alone.
I don’t know anyone either and live in a “hotspot” area. Although some of my family members know people who have had it. From my prospective it seems like poors, city dwellers, and people in nursing homes get it.

have a few people i know reasonably well that died. know a bunch of women who claim to have tested positive and were "sick for weeks" but you know how women are.
i just hope my parents don't die, that's about it.
