My brother contracted it, but didn't know he had it until he passed out from what they initially thought was pneumonia. He tested positive and was hospitalized because he was suffering severe dehydration, so much so his kidneys were compromised. It took a few days to get his kidney function stabilized, and then they sent him home to continue isolation. This was back in April. He's fine now.
I lost a friend back in February. He passed from a bad case of pneumonia they couldn't get under control. Now that we know more, it had to have been Covid-19. He lived in Long Island, which later became an epicenter. He was morbidly obese, borderline diabetic, and didn't respond to normal pneumonia treatments.
I have another friend who was found dead in his apartment. A few people said he had been complaining of a bad chest cold he just couldn't shake.
