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

Possibly, but I don't know. Can't get tested. (I'm in America, so...) Went to San Diego about a month before Wuhan went crazy, and everyone on the trip came back sick with a mysterious dry cough/flu thing that none of us could shake for about 4 weeks. Then COVID happened, and we all looked sidelong at each other... and there's been some persistent flu going around my office (which does a LOT of business in China) for a month or so. It's been around my team of 5 people about 3 times... and that was just around the time I went to San Diego, too.

So yeah; probably. Fine now, tho.

2. Does someone you know have/had it?

Kinda. My sister works with seniors with Alzheimers, and has been in/at all of the senior homes in Seattle that you have seen in the news. She does NOT have it... but many of her clients do.

3. Do you know someone that has died from it?

My sister does, of course. I do not.

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

Still have my job.

Flights back from the UK were hosed, so it cost me some extra money to get a flight (and seats) that were acceptable to me and my family. Car rental had to be extended, so that cost some money. An extra hotel room at the end of our stay, as we waited for our flight. Paying someone to do grocery shopping for us, while we are quarantined at home.

I think that might be it...
