My aunt also got it, she was in the ICU for 20 days and hospital for a total of about 25 days. Now, that being said, she had wildly uncontrolled diabetes, was supposed to be on a handful of medications and insulin, she did neither. So covid stacked with an immune system that was in the dumpster gave her pneumonia, sparked by covid.

She was on oxygen 24/7 for 3 months, she's doing very well now, but almost died for sure. Her husband had it, just 3-4 days of body aches, fever, perfectly fine after that.

I have also had people in my extended family become very ill (a couple of them were hospitalized and nearly died) from it. All of them were obese and/or had poorly controlled diabetes.

Spez: I also know one person who died from it. He was a young man in his 30s...but he had recently undergone a kidney transplant and was on serious anti-rejection drugs. His immune system was shut down, so he could have died from the common cold in that condition.
