Has anybody in your family had the Corona virus?

[Gandalf]

Miles. We had a question a few days ago. Anyone know anyone that has it. It’s now become anyone in your family. The nets been narrowed to support a losing argument. Let’s not pretend that didn’t happen.

Has the thread title changed? It is the same as at the start. The consensus is no except for Beanz who is still a likely no but went on holiday to a Corona hotel hotspot and there was no hospital or testing after despite others doing just that in his town.

No one said the threat title changed Miles. It was a separate thread. The question has changed from do you know anyone, to does anyone n your family.

I don’t buy that it was done out of idle curiosity. It was done to make it harder to say yes to continue to support a narrative that’s on Increasing shaky ground. Just my opinion of course.

No, you are being a bit cynical. I think the virus is dangerous and I believe you when you say you have heard of someone dying. I certainly don't wear a mask to look cool. I think they look silly.

I am not even talking about death but just having caught the virus. I have known of two people dying of different things in the past few weeks, but nobody even infected with Covid at its peak. I am just curious who has known somebody with it and especially in a family as you know all the ins and outs without filters. You would have to avoid them or see them hospitalized and all of that.

I think it is real and dangerous, but also manageable. The curve is ready to peak and yes it would help if people did not hang out in large groups. Go for a walk, but be safe, and never put another person at risk.

I am likely in the middle of Tito and Lyle on this. It is not the flu, but it is not the great plague either. You certainly do not want it.
