I haven't had it myself thank goodness, but a friend of my 73-year-old mom has. This woman is in her 50s I think and works in an elementary school. Both her husband and son have had it. From what I heard, her husband's symptoms were pretty mild respiratory symptoms. Her son's were a bit more severe. I think he may have underlying health conditions (not sure exactly what), but he's a policeman in his twenties. She said that he was prescribed two different inhalers and had a chest x-ray. I was quite concerned to hear this, but she says her husband is now over it and back to work, and her son is doing much better. She herself caught it, but so far has very mild symptoms - just a loss of taste and smell.
My uncle might have it - I'm not completely sure. He was complaining of flu-like symptoms (diarrhea, feeling tired, and he said he has a fever but he never actually took his temperature, so not sure about that) and finally decided to go to the hospital. He's 67 and has a lot of underlying health conditions (anemia, diabetes, heart disease, gout) so I am very concerned about him. It's hard to get in contact with him, though, so I'm hoping to get an update on him soon.
