Yes, the states who didn't shut down have about the same stats as the ones which did I think. Yeah I know several people who had the virus and got really sick. In fact my step-daughter had it and she said it was the worst thing she's ever had and she's been through alot of sickness...she thought she was gonna die.
Her son also got it and was deathly ill for about a week. One of the officers that Mrs. J works with had it and it was so serious that it was touch and go for a little while but he pulled through. That thing is deadly to some people.
Sorry they had problems, are they sure it was covid-19? The test is not very reliable....

They were wrong over 62% of the time! In this case it was dangerous, because they put these 62+% false positives in with the actual infected ones in a nursing home!
About a decade and a half ago, I went in the Hospital for some unneeded testing, to make my Wife happy; and caught a Nasty Flu (NOT Covid-19). I was unable to stand for a week! So there are real contagions out there, that will make young healthy people, really sick. Since kids almost never have trouble with Covid-19 (see my post on kids returning to schools) it is likely that they caught a more serious variant of flu, like I did.
Covid-19 kills by weakening the victim, so a secondary infection can provide the killing stroke; due to decreased effectiveness of older immune systems.
A Louisiana prison has an entire wing of Covid-19 prisoners. They only need supply aspirin on request. THAT was pretty weird, but they weren't old enough to be at real risk!
