Do you know anybody with the COVID?

My SIL tested positive a week or so ago but is fine now. My neighbor's son and his girlfriend tested positive also but are recovering at home. All are vaccinated. No one else is sick. Thank God.

One friend was seriously ill for 2 weeks with Covid.
3 family members sick - getting tested now; not sure if it's Covid.
Yes, all vaccinated.
 
One of Huzz's best friends had a severe case last year; he was in the hospital for 3 weeks and almost died. After getting out of the hospital, he's had nothing but trouble: a mild stroke and now agitation (that has become the angry kind in the last few weeks), trouble making his legs work right, double vision, horrible neck pain, and they're thinking maybe the onset of dementia (which may explain the anger mentioned above). Very sad and worrying.
 
Nope! Not even 1 person. I live in a senior apartment with about 135 people and nobody has had Covid. I guess we are a pretty healthy bunch. Seems to me that the young folks are the ones getting sick these days. Where I live we have a nice common room but what the hack, No coffee mornings, No Happy Hours, No nothing. Maybe that is why we are so healthy. I go shopping for groceries about 8 am and often I am the only customer in the store. However, my daughter who is 36 years old says that about 12 of her friends have had Covid. I asked her how come? She said they like to get together and party. HA! Go Figure! I guess I'm a "Wall Flower" but at least I'm a healthy Wall Flower!
 
We had it a couple of years ago — in 2019, before it was called "Covid-19". I don't recall being all that ill; just generally felt cruddy and kind of tired, plus had phlegm which our doctor said to deal with using the over-the-counter Mucinex.

Note also that I have some co-morbidities (diabetes, way overweight). And still, here I am.

Edited to add: and elderly!

Yes I do currently know someone. My daughters husband has Covid. He is only showing very mild symptoms with just really being tired and a very low grade fever. The thing that really complicates all of this is my daughter is pregnant. So they have been doing everything they possibly can to isolate from each other during this whole thing.
 
Currently living with my niece and her family. Two seniors, niece and her husband and their 12-yo daughter in our household. Yesterday morning the kid came home early from school, complaining of chest discomfort and a sore throat. An at home-test indicated she was positive.

So, today we're all scrambling to isolate. All the adult members are fully vaxxed and boosted, though the other senior has multiple comorbidities.

Since spring-2019 a good handful of people in my circle of acquaintances have tested positive - thankfully all of recovered.
 
Lots with the Omnicron variant currently and most are mild. Breakthrough cases are common in those with natural immunity and vaccinated x3 and both. We have residents currently infected in a long-term care facility I do contract work for who were ill with it in Dec 2020, were vaccinated in April/May 2021 and had 3rd (booster) a couple of months ago. Thankfully, most have been mild and no one has died.

More kids locally are getting the Omnicron variant but are shaking it off quickly.

I had it Jan 2020. Have known several that had it as well and lived. Only one acquaintance that was already bedridden from a stroke, in a nursing home, had it and passed.
 
I and my partner had it in February 2020. It took forever to get rid of the disgusting chest congestion. When I coughed in a public place, people gave me the stink eye like I was Typhoid Mary. I also had headaches and chills for about a day. There were no vaccinations available at that time.

Fast forward... we had a get-together with our extended family earlier this month. We have all been vaccinated and boosted. My sister-in-law tested positive, but she's only had mild symptoms and we have had no symptoms at all.
 
Before the vaccines were available, my best friend caught it from working in a nursing home.

After vaccines, my stepdaughter's in-laws caught it. Very mild cases, after being fully vaccinated. My unvaccinated ex-husband caught it while he was in a nursing home.

Our unvaccinated neighbors caught it, and so did our mechanic and his family.

Everyone lived.
