I just noticed that I spelled "forum" wrong and I fixed the spelling...
I see there are many opinions about the validity of the poll. Since this is a technical forum, I would think that overall results will be different than the general populace because many of us technical people are not really "people" persons and don't tend to hang out in crowds. By simply taking the poll on a technical forum, I would expect the results to differ from worldwide, general population data.
I could be wrong, but the data of this 10 day poll on an electronics forum should be interesting, no less. I am not trying to take away the devastation of this virus, or on the contrary add to the ethos. It just occurred to me that electronics/technical people are typically more secluded, because of introverted tendencies, than the general population.
I have not had the virus, although my son (46 years old) and his fiance(42) have both had the virus, both confirmed with testing. My son's fiance works at a major hospital here in Houston and is a Respiratory Therapist. She works with Covid patients every day (for 12 hours a day, 7 days a week during the peak). She gets tested weekly with the usual test and my son was tested after his illness that lasted 14 days, I believe by testing his antibodies. She was infected with the virus first and then him. Her 15 year old daughter did not get the virus and lives with her in the same house. My son is a technical person, but, he contracted the virus due to his relationship with his fiance,a medical professional that has a much higher risk of getting the virus. Both of them overcame the virus and are back to work.
EDIT: My son works from home in a technical field.
