9. I went with "I know someone who has it"--but only sort of.

I suspect another teacher (out of a couple hundred) has it. Don't know her personally. Her daughter had been diagnosed with it a couple of days before, and the teacher (online) was busy coughing and had a headache. Teacher hadn't been tested.

If any of my 165 students on my roster has it, they're not talking.

That said, given how many people I'm acquainted with and the likely stats, I must know at least a couple. They don't need to be symptomatic or very sick (because that's also the overwhelming majority).
