I had not known one single person who tested positive for the hellaciously contagious disease since the pandemic began 6 months ago until a few weeks ago. My uncle, who works for Via Christi, tested positive for it. He's in his lower 60's, passed it on to my aunt who has lupus and other chronic fatigue type illnesses. Both of them had fever, cough, and exhaustion for 2-3 days and then got better and have since totally recovered. My grandpa, who has been very cautious and I have not seen since last February, contracted it from my uncle after they visited each other without masks a few days prior to my uncle's symptom onset and positive test. My grandpa is 86 with a pacemaker. He reported mild exhaustion for a couple days and no other symptoms. He is reportedly fine now 3 weeks later. Contrary to what the media and certain people like to present, this virus is not a death sentence if you're in a certain age group or with certain ailments or conditions. Only the extreme cases are talked about and make the headlines. And that's if you believe the accuracy of all the numbers.
Just thought I'd thrown in my two cents since it finally indirectly affected me - 3 people in 6 months - by the most contagious disease on the planet.
