They’re declaring it an emergency so you don’t know folks next month who’ve had it. That’s the point?

Didn’t everyone say that when Covid started? Now you’d be hard press to find someone who doesn’t know someone who had it (or had it themselves)

I think when it (lockdown, not the initial spread) started everyone knew a friend of a friend who heard about someone with it. Degrees of connection.

Indeed there were posts on this forum in the early days about it with first hand accounts. No such accounts with this so far?

Personally, a school friend was one of the first cases in the country.

If you have any friends in queer community, ask them and you’ll find a plenty data points.

I think I have it now. Not 100% sure though.
