Anyone?

Does anyone actually know anyone who has this virus? Just interested as I haven’t actually met one yet? But everyone is panicking about everyone having it? If it is so widespread why does no one know anyone with it? Numbers not adding up?

Yes

One who has died, one who is dying and one who has just been put in ICU

Good enough for you?

One, worst flu ever, fever, delirious, in bed. Then coughing, couldn't breathe, nearly called an ambulance.

Still off work after 2 weeks but improving slowly.

Currently, it's not that widespread, but because it's easily communicable it will be. That's what the isolation and social distancing are trying to mitigate.

In debating circles, you have fallen into the hasty generalisation fallacy.

I think a good proportion of the population have it but have mild symptoms or don't realise they have it. With no testing , unless you are unlucky enough to have to go to hospital . I have been isolating for 10 days with loss of smell and taste, but i developed this 4 days before this. It has only been mentioned as symptom from Health England about 5 days ago.
