I debated writing COVID-19 but thought “nah, nobody will call me on this.” I was wrong. It was you. (I've now edited OP)

I feel ya re the “not yets.” I hope that my parents and my in-laws can weather this storm. Hell, I’m 42 years old, I hope I can. My wife has already lost her job. She’s our major breadwinner. I gave myself a 30% pay cut too. I was very lucky to have sold my home just prior to all of this or I would be screwed.

Stay safe! Don’t get the corona... I mean, specifically COVID-19

1. Do you have or have you had the Coronavirus (COVID-19)?

  no
2. Does someone you know have/had it?

  yes, we were in line for an international woman's day (March 8) event featuring activist and revolutionary, Angela Y. Davis when we were approached by a guy who hugged and shook hands with my guy saying, "You married us in Vancouver 15 years ago."  14-15 days later we find out he tested positive . . he said there were four bad days with flu symptoms but he was getting better.  He was at an event with 500 peole.  Toronto shut down around March 23.
3. Do you know someone that has died from it?

  no, but my cousin in Salem Mass has had a good friend die from it and two of her friends are sick.

4. Have you lost your job or been financially impacted by it?

  cheques keep coming . . . so far.
