(25,595 posts)We had five in the family at once. We wouldn't have been diagnosed if it wasn't for my 90 yo MIL who had it. (She recovered after a week and did fine)
My daughter has had it twice. She's just getting over it.
My case was so mild, I thought it was allergies. It was right after Christmas with 30 family members and, my MIL tested positive. So we all tested and had it.

(25,595 posts)We've all had it, but it's all been post-vaccine, so it's been mild.
A few acquaintances had it early. One almost died and almost lost limbs. He was hospitalized for about two months. He seems to be OK now. (Don't know him well enough to know if he has linger effects)
Another was a judge who had to isolate in a part of her home. She had young kids. Her story was in the papers.
