How many COVID-19 deceased do you knew personally?

I think it's pretty far from a random sample of which EEVBlog readers will click through a post with that subject line and, of those, who will choose to respond to the poll.
Simon:
The topic is indeed pointless as it is a uncontrolled "study" that anyone from any country with varying infection rates can answer.

~40 years old, healthy, works out at gym twice weekly, barely drinks, never smokes.
Completely knocked him out, and he was "ventilation assistance" for about two weeks (I think that's the stage before they knock you out and put you on a proper ventilator.) Says he still feels some symptoms now (can't run as fast/far as he used to), but is mostly back to normal.

I am of the generation that knew polio first hand. Fortunately, iron lungs are no longer in existence. I'll bet few here have actually seen one working. I have.
Count your friend lucky. I am 77, and survival at the stage of needing a ventilator is low. So low, that I might invoke my living will and refuse. Supplemental oxygen would, of course, be indicated as well as immuno-modulators to try to suppress self-destruction of my lungs.
