No.
So far in Chicago (Illinois actually, but you know ) 64 cases, no deaths as of today.
No, and today I reached out to three friends in Seattle and their answer was also no. I’m about two hours away from Seattle, and our county has zero cases. And as a pharmacist I believe that number. No one has been into the pharmacy over the last few weeks with respiratory symptoms.
From the known cases so far, the average number of days since first symptoms appeared:
So, it could another week or so to see the first death report.
- 7 days until severe and sudden onset of respiratory illness and pneumonia
- 14 days until death
It’s important to monitor conditions in isolation/quarantine for any symptoms (even if it might be minor cold or flu) for a week. And, hopefully, you are near a family member who can take you to the hospital if it happens. It’s possible for some cases to go from minor symptoms walking at home to lying on the ICU bed within 24 hours.

No! Thankfully. But every time I sneeze I asses if I feel ok !
Thanks!Please edit your post and add another s to your assess word, so you don't get points from a mod! lol!
This! Personally I think the virus has been here for a while. We always get some "flu like symptoms" in the hospitals and LTC-negative for flu or strep etc. Usually just shrug off and docs say "viral" . This year though???? Wonder how many - if any-were just not diagnosed.No, but I believe many know someone who has had it but just not tested/diagnosed.
Really hope not!My brother lives in San Diego. A nasty respiratory virus ran through his house a few weeks ago. All his kids got it, and he just got over it. Was sick for 2 full weeks. It fit all the symptoms for Covid-19. His wife has it now, and they are going to get her tested.
And they wouldn't test you now either unless your were imminent respiratory failure.After returning from WDW on December 26, I came down with the symptoms of Coronavirus (mainly low fever, sore throat) on December 27/28. DH took me to a walk-in clinic because I thought it was strep. Test was negative. Still don’t know what it was
Pulmonary/respiratory distress - yes hospital. BUt when I get cold or sore throat I send hubs to the store or if I run in I get it quick. By definition you gotta think most people in a pharmacy are sick (even if it's managing a chronic illness and need their meds).Infected individuals would not be going to the local pharmacy if they start experiencing pulmonary failures. They would be in the hospital bed.

Offshoot- I have seasonal allergies and asthma meaning I cough a lot, especially if there are odors or perfumes etc. Is anyone else afraid to cough out in public now?
