Well, my sister (who completed chemo in Feb. for lymphoma) and her kids, my niece and nephew, all got the COVID and it looks like they are all going to...eventually...recover. My nephew had an indicated 107 degree temperature at one time. They all had high fevers. My sister said at its peak (about a week ago) it was much worse in terms of pain, GI symptoms, shaking, etc. than the worst of her chemo. They never had respiratory symptoms.
Her husband, my brother-in-law either hasn't gotten it or is asymptomatic. He has not been tested, but I imagine when his "partial quarantine" is done, early Sept. (14 days after the last time someone in his household would be capable of passing it), he will likely get tested for antibodies.
My Mom never got it and is at over 14 days since she last had contact with anyone in my sister's household. That is incredible.
I would just note that simply looking at death as an outcome and ignoring all other negative outcomes...seems incomplete.
