I thought it would be interesting to keep a running tally of people I know personally (or at least as an acquaintance) who either have Covid-19 now or have had it in the past. Of course, I’ll change all of their names here, but I am going to keep this list on my phone with real first names so I can remember:
-
NBA basketball player I met in Miami back at the beginning of March - granted, I met him for just a second and then went on to hang out with his bodyguard, but he was the first person I’d known to have Covid when the NBA players were tested a couple weeks later
-
Elise - she lives far away from me, but she posted on social back in March or early April that she had it and it was TERRRRRIBLE!
-
Nate - my former next door neighbor found out he had it about 3 days after he’d moved out of my building at the end of March. Said he thought he got it from some party he attended a couple weeks prior.
-
Bryan - a friend who lives in the ‘burbs. Posted on social that he had it back in May and didn’t want to say anything until he was 100% in the clear. I don’t think he got it really bad, but he definitely quarantined himself. As far as I know, his wife, another friend of mine, never got it.
-
Chelsea - a Gen Y chick at my office. She’s always posting about going to parties. She doesn’t give a rat’s ass about anyone else.
-
Preacher and his wife - I suppose this could be two people, but I’ve only met the dude once (he’s the former minister at my parents’ church) and I’ve never met his wife, but she’s got the ‘Rona too. These two worry me quite a bit as they are both older and have pre-existing conditions that could be very scary
-
Marco - My friend Matt’s partner. I saw him last night as we were both out walking our dogs in the park he lives near. He told me not to get too close as he’d JUST gotten over Covid and has tested negative like within the last couple of days. Matt is working on the E.Coast and hasn’t been able to travel here and that’s a good thing because he’d likely have gotten it also.
This is super scary. I’ll update further as I hear/know of more.
