Our real estate agent and his wife both came down with it; they're both in their mid-30s and were in the hospital for short stays: neither has had, to this point, any lingering complications.

She was without a sense of smell or taste for almost 2 weeks. I got off easy - it was just like a mild case of the flu.

A good friend and co worker who was a forensic psychologist died from it last September at 70 .
Another who was in long term recovery from opioids, more than 30 years, died last April at 75.
My older brother got it bad and ended up in the hospital for a few days. My son was the opposite. He was wiped out with a fever for one day and that was it. The others had light to moderate cases. I don't personally know anyone who died of it yet.
Condolences to all that lost loved ones or acquaintances.I think it's safe to say that luck, especially in the first few months when disinformation was rife and truth was scarce, played a large role in all of this.

he died, she wasn't hospitalized. Anti-maskers/distancers.

She was in poor health recovering from a stroke she had last year. She tested positive as did her husband and a friend who all went to get tested together. I don't know how long she had been sick before getting tested. She went home to ride it out and died the next day. Obviously, she should have been in the hospital rather than at home.
We have had several other family members on my wife's side who had it. BIL tested positive the day before his daughters wedding. He went to the outdoor wedding and stood away from everyone and didn't go to the reception.
Our real estate agent tested positive a day after we sat at a table with her with no masks on and talked and signed papers for an hour. My wife and I haven't had it that we know of.
So sorry for your loss.
My condolences for your sister.

...damage a few weeks ago following a bout with the disease.
Also, my brother-in-law's aunt had a mild-moderate case. And my occasional masseuse had a mild case, but has an older friend who nearly died from it last summer.
My niece has had several positive coworkers.
Fortunately, my whole family has now been vaccinated.

He got it first and refused medical care. She found him dead on the floor five days later. The coroner came to take him away and the EMT's took her to the hospital where she spent six days.
That was last week, she's still in recuperation.
...but they are both health care professionals--she's a nurse and he's a doctor, so they were exposed to Covid patients for 9 months before eventually testing positive. Both of them had very mild cases, requiring essentially no treatment, other than taking it easy for a week or so.

The couple who help my wife with gardening, the lady who last cut my hair and her husband (last I heard he was in an ICU), a geat Uncle who died from it, a man and his wife I know from the park and I'm sure many others I know who haven't disclosed it or didn't even know they had it.
and several acquaintances/friends. Our area suffered a surge in July of last year which is when my parents caught it. My dad was hospitalized for 12 days and was homebound until the middle of September. My mom suffered at home for a couple of weeks. Both have had lingering effects such as hair loss and mental/physical fatigue. They're in their 70s.
It didn't end well.

I'm so sorry.
All had mild symptoms except the SIL's father who was hospitalized for a short time. Some symptoms hung around like a bad cold for a few weeks for a few of them.
Also, son's friend and his roommate and the roommate's mother all got it. Neither my son or I got it after exposure to those and my wife when she was infectious.

I had it the week after Thanksgiving. After all the precautions taken to that point, an employee came in on Monday coughing and hacking and I sent him out the door to get tested. He was positive and I'm sure my ten minutes of up close and personal with him did the trick. I felt as if I had a hangover that Friday and Saturday. After those two days I felt much better. So, I've head COVID and both shots. Good to go.
By the way, I did an excellent job at home by staying in a guest bedroom, using a guest bathroom and generally making sure I did not pollute our home. Wife never caught it.
My wife lost an aunt to C19 in November. Lady Rodge and I had it over Christmas and New Years. Both of us had multiple symptoms but no hospital visits. After 10 days or so out I was fine but it took my wife a couple of months to get past the recovery fog.
I'm a contractor and a lot of my clients and subs have experienced C19 with most getting through it OK. Hope to get back to a sense of normal soon, getting our first shots later this month.

In June a co-worker reported having all the symptoms and was off to the Vets Hospital for a test.No one heard from him for several days and he was found dead at his place after a "wellness"
check by the Police. He lived alone and always answered his emails/texts from my wife within
hours. It was never clear wether he had and/or died from COVID due to privacy concerns
and the Principal (our boss) is a bonafide liar and there is no other source of confirmation/denial.She says it was a heart attack. He had pre existing conditions and was fairly good about watching his health.
Another co-worker's Mother, Father and Brother had it. She had married and moved out of the Family
house a month or so before. Her Mother spent about a month in Intensive Care and died alone. The
others recuperated.ANOTHER co-worker's husband had it, was hospitalized and intubated and has returned home
VERY SLOWLY recuperating.
These are the worst cases I know of off the top of my head.I know MANY families from school that someone in the family had it and recuperated fairly quickly.
I know three separate grades at our private, parochial school (also know as a guinea pig by the
Powers That Be) have been closed down for the minimum allowed time due to someone
having contact with someone with COVID ( Supposedly OUTSIDE of school but that's because
of what we are told).Not exactly sure how THAT works as at Middle School level students switch classrooms for classes.
EVEN during COVID.The school was never closed, the Principal insists it's safe and that the 50% of students that
have been distance learning (concurrently with in school classmates) SHOULD return to
in class learning. Their parents aren't buying into her BS.Meantime she's STILL accepting new students into the school.
I know one person not associated with the school that had it and is fine.
I know my wife refused to return to in class teaching on Doctor's orders (pre-existing conditions)
and was fired for such.I know I've been very careful and lucky with my position there given a LARGE, well
ventilated space and very few students to monitor.First time I wrote this down, reviewing it it seems like some unsafe, unnecessary risks were
taken by a crazy person that needs to have a school open because she thinks it a good idea.Maybe I'm biased though.

However, I know not of herd immunity as I know WAY more people who did not contract Covid-19.
his son, DIL, and grandkids all have had it.
The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?
My eye doctor and his family came down with it in the summer last year. His family all came down with it too. The wife had a brief cold, the kids had sniffles, while he ended up in the hospital . Also, in the same time frame an elderly lady we know from the historical society who was in assisted living also came down with it. She got over it quickly and didn't need hospitalization. That's all we know from our relatives, friends and neighbors.
