    With as much driving and moving around the country as we all do, you would think that there would be a lot of us who have caught Covid-19, but there is hardly a mention of it here. We're also not the healthiest bunch of people either, and that supposedly puts many of us at much higher risk for hospitalization or death from the virus. So I wanted to see just how many of us have had it, or know somebody who has.

    Let's keep this clean and non-political so it doesn't get moved.

    One of our drivers had a daughter that we think was positive for the Boogey Man virus, but by the time they finally tested her she was negative.

    Anyway, other than that, nobody in my immediate circle of family, collegues, or acquaintances.

    Invalid poll. Without an option for no one with covid, your poll is meaningless.

    Like I said in the political section. Naples has been full blown open for 3 months. Only mask wearing the last 3 weeks because of the mandate

    1000 condos here with median age 65.

    Nobody here knows anyone who became sick.

    The vast majority of people haven't tested positive or know anybody that's had it. We already know that. I'm interested in knowing how many drivers have had it, or know somebody who has.

    Do you need a poll to tell you what we already know, that the vast majority of people don't have it or know anybody who has? Feel free to start your own poll.

    I haven't gotten it because I’ve been sealed up in my bathroom with 10 years worth of toilet paper, 55 gallons of OdoBan, wearing a mask 24/7 and washing my hands every 15 minutes.

    Is it safe to come out yet?
