Hi Folks,
There are a lot of members here.
I'd like to get a sense of what the stats are for personal CV deaths.
That is, people you know personally who have died of CV.

I was surprised to see the results of this poll when i answered it today. I wonder if it will change much, if more people answer now that we are more months out?
Can a non member vote?

I know of a few through people I know personally, but I know none directly. My answer wouldn't fit anything in the poll.
I don't even know anyone that "got it" (though I kind of suspected I did, not sure however)...
My answer would be a bit like gords in post#5. I don't know anyone that died personally, but I do know a trusted person that has seen many deaths and severely ill covid patients.
I personally know of 2 trusted neighbours, and 1 trusted friend whose Mother have all died within the last 3 months from NON CV causes,
BUT all 3 had CV put on their Death Certificates !!
When their Family members questioned the doctors about this,
the doctors just shrugged and said " THAT's OUR INSTRUCTIONS" ???????
( I'm in England ).
What I find strange is that CV is supposedly more contagious than the flu, and yet every year I will know at least 3 or 4 friends or family who get the flu. I don't know anyone who has got CV.

When I asked about knowing someone personally, I meant that literally. You met the person and knew them.
In your case you would vote:
"No, I don't know of anyone"
My answer has now changed, from 0 to 2, age 89, and 79.

Any other year, I would have just thought that the flu took them both. Their other immediate family members also had "the bad flu" that was attributed to covid.
Winter has always been tough on the elderly and infirm.
My grandpa is 99 and just got out of the hospital from covid; hopefully I'm going to follow in his (still surprisingly spry) foot steps.Quote:

he has no comorbidities however.
