How many folks has had immediate family members catch the COVID?

We just found out Friday that my son has tested positive. He's a college student. He was supposed to pitch in the final game of their Fall World Series on Friday but obviously that didn't happen. This thing is scary when it hits this close to home. Him and his GF are isolating together for the next 10 days. Her parents said don't come home for a while. She tested negative but has been exposed for several weeks from girls that play on the softball team. We're headed to AR and will cook Turkey dinner and then run it to T-Quah just so he can eat Thanksgiving food. If he feels better, we will meet halfway on Thursday and drop it on the side of the road for him to pick up. It's only a 2-hour drive. Symptoms are headache, fever, chills, body aches, shortness of breath. All the tell-tale signs. This thing really sucks and has interrupted a lot of lives in the meantime. Please say a prayer for Jonathan and GF, and especially pray for all the others that has it and let's pray for friends and family that has to deal with loss of life from this dreaded virus. 2020 can't get outta here fast enough!

Wife, daughter and grandson have had it.

Three older cousins have died from it...hopefully no more of my family or friends get this stupid disease. i hope your son, his girlfriend, and all those that have been inflicted with this virus make a full recovery. Covid sucks.

Son, DIL, and 3 out of their 4 kids had it. Mostly a non event except for the DIL. She had what seemed like the flu. Bed for a couple of days and then up and about. None of them were serious.

Brother in law,My sister and his sister and kids. They just decided to go to deer camp together and quarantine in the woods. They bagged a couple of Blacktails. When I get it I'll go stay at the lake and sleep in my truck and fish all day.

So sorry to hear, LSS. Praying.

My 90 year old dad in the VA nursing home has it right now

Wife, son, and daughter in law.

Nephew. He's is doing well. Tested positive about two weeks ago. Only had minor symptoms.

I have not thus far, prayers to all affected

me & my daughter

prayers for your son

My wife and I both have/had she was first and is pretty much over it I have had it for about 7 days and feel pretty good.

Grandma, mom, brother, SIL, niece all had it. Mom spent 10 days in the hospital and damned near died from it

Father, sister, brother-in-law, 2 nephews and niece. All recovering. Dad was in the hospital 2 weeks.

Daughter-In-Law tested positive for both Covid and the flu the first of this month. She had a high temp for a few days, but felt okay during the process. She works in the medical field and had to get a negative test before she or my son could return to work. Both were off for three weeks, until DIL finally got a negative test result.

So far just me. Knocked the s... out of it though

Grandmother and Sister had it. BIL also got it, but not my niece, she never got it living in the house with them.

Step-brother/wife, step-sister/husband had it and latter both have it now all in west monroe, La.

Aunt, Uncle, and two cousins all died from it for sure. Suspect grandmother died of it, not certain. Step-daughter tested positive, little to no symptoms. Wife and I both suspect we've had it (family MD says we likely did too) but didn't get tested. Even with co-morbidities we experienced no symptoms.

Weird disease seems to devastate some and barely even bother others.

Prayers for all infected that it does not put you down and you bounce back.
TFF is like my family.

So far nothing here yet.

Daughter and wife both had it

First time I had it I stayed in my bedroom for 10 days. My wife slept next to me but no one else in the house ever showed symptoms.

Last time I got it my wife caught it 2 days later and 2 of 3 kids had it.

My daughter in-law had it and got really sick and it's been a month ago and she still gets short of breath. My son in-law got it and it didn't even phase him.

So far just 1 cousin, 1 niece, mother-in-law (died from it), and a near miss for my sister. Just found out today that the girl I took to the prom my jr year of high school many decades ago passed away yesterday from it. Kind of odd. All within my family circle that have had it have been female.

A lot of death being reported on this thread.
No matter where you stand on Covid, a lot of suffering has happened this year.

Stay safe y'all. And God Bless.

Older brother tested positive last week. Said he would live to see another day,

Barry

You folks having family and friends turn up positive please keep an eye on them even if they are very mild. Days 5-10 is when mild cases flip for no reason and turn severe.

BIL and SIL had it, took them weeks to get back to work
MIL and FIL had it, MIL spent a bit of time in hospital but getting batter now.
Its everywhere at work and the school

So far just my youngest son

My brother in law

Uncle, aunt, and cousin have all had it. All were in bed a few days and battled fatigue for about 2 weeks but thankfully nothing serious.

A brother in law, a sister in law, 2 nieces, and 1 great niece. Brother in law says this is the sickest he's ever been in his life. So far he's refused to go to a doctor and get any treatment. The rest of them are either asymptomatic or have mild symptoms.

FIL and MIL both in their late 70's. FIL has recovered and MIL is taking a little longer.

Sister, brother in law, Mother in law who is 88. All recovered.

for the people that have been around immediate family members that were positive, without catching it...… are you blood type O+? I am O+ and have been around sooooo many patients with the active virus, lots of covid pneumonia, etc. I haven't always put on my N95 mask, and always at least have a surgical mask on my face. I am curious, as I have heard, the O+ people are less likely to catch it due to the blood cells being smooth on the outer layer.
it almost seems as if there is a specific correlation between O+ and infection rates. One of our NP's family was positive and that person had a sinus infection at the same time but never showed positive or has antibodies now. The person's family all have antibodies. It's pretty crazy how they designed this virus!

I'm O positive and have been around my in laws who are also O positive. They were in direct contact (unknowingly) with family who tested positive a day after they spent hours together and are now ill. Those of us who are O positive haven't had as much as a sniffle. My BIL who said this is the sickest he's been in his life is type AB.

I am O+ and got it.

My wife is o+ and she got it, Im A- and I got it so I obviously don't think blood type matters much.

Sister and her husband just got over it

My lady had it bad for about a week in March; all the classic symptoms. Then, several more weeks of fatigue. Back to normal now. I had a sore throat for a couple days from it.

Some co-workers have had it but none of my family or friends have.

9 of the 18 people in my wife immediate family have gotten it and recovered. Her brother was the oldest at 57. Her great uncle had it twice back to back and was hospitalized but has since recovered. I do know several people who have lost a parent due to the virus but they all have been much older. One that lost a parent both her and her husband tested positive for the virus but were asymptomatic. She tested positive for nearly a month before testing negative.

Yeah, I was kinda banking on that theory, but I'm O+ and I got it last Thursday.

Some good news.

Hope they pull through which I am sure being young they will. Look on the bright side, you will soon be a grandfather to a covid conception.

I know someone on here who's wife and most likely him have it. Not sure he wants that info out but prayers for all who have it
