We are fortunate to not see the rocketing death rates they are reporting elsewhere.
So far only 12 deaths have been reported in our county that are related to COVID-19. None of those folks were young and healthy, but were older people in nursing facilities almost exclusively.
The counties surrounding us are less wealthy and they are all having a slightly higher death rate, but so far it does not seem alarming.
Of course when I catch it it will be bloody well alarming!
That being said I am a pretty healthy guy and it’s entirely possible that I had this back in January when I thought I was just having the flu for a couple of days. They say you can have it and not know it, which means of course that I can be spreading it and not know it.
Basically these days I stay home and order things on the Internet. I have had one older friend come to visit briefly twice since this started and he has since come down with walking pneumonia. He has severe problems as a recovering alcoholic with a bad pancreas so I’ve been worried that he will get it.
Fortunately he has tested negative twice for Covid 19.
