My niece had it bad. If she wasn’t a healthy college kid it could have been worse. She was stuck in Spain in April.
My co-worker had it run through his family. Enough to take him off our calls for a week (which is strange since we work from home)
My co-worker lost her friend (dental hygienist).
My next door neighbor’s daughter had minor symptoms, tested positive, and quarantined right after the election.

@SW-User I learned a lot talking to friends and family yesterday.
- My friend's partner got it... one of the younger family members went to a wedding in a different state and didn't tell anybody. My friend's partner spent 4 days in the hospital.
- My wife's step-mom told us that one of her friends lost a 19yo athletic son to COVID.
- My wife's step-mom works in a hospital so she had plenty to share. She still thinks severity is based on genetics... I still think viral-load plays into it.
I was surprised by the amount of Wisconsin friends and family who took the "no travel" part of thanksgiving seriously. Nobody had their usual gatherings for Thanksgiving and many said they won't be doing Christmas. That's a big change since they weren't taking COVID seriously for most of the summer.
