Only indirectly. A good friend has a cousin whose entire household got it in NYC.

I have a co-worker who's neighbor has died from it.

But no, I myself didn't know him.

My folks on the hand, may not come out of is as well, so that's my primary stressor.

****. You were in the oil fields. Sorry man.

Close, a lot of my customers were oilfield businesses.

I find it very distressing for three reasons, the first two more altruistic, the third selfish.

1. An insidious feature of this virus is the isolation it induces, including people dying alone in hospitals without the presence of their loved ones. I imagine the surviving family suffer the most from this. The dying must be treated as lepers. This is now occurring for approaching 2,000 victims per day globally. All so incredibly sad to contemplate.

2. If it's this stressful for me, with a secure job, I can't imagine what it's like for the economically dislocated. This is more stress than humans are designed to handle at once.

3. My daughter has severe asthma, and her lungs react strongly to even a cold. That makes me very nervous. My city is estimated to have only a small fraction of the beds and ventilators it will need even by conservative estimates of infection. Yet people continue to congregate as though there were no threat. The thought of my daughter being isolated while enduring what for her could be a life threatening illness is terrifying.

Someone where my SO works has it. That's in downtown Tampa. He's had to work from home, while some have to stay at the office.

I do. Wife's co-worker whom we've also socialized with. She outed herself on FaceBook to let people who've been in contact with her know. This was earlier last week and she already feels much better while in self quarantine. 30's, health nut, athletic.
