So far one (distant) member of my extended family has caught this- luckily she is young and healthy (just graduated college). The thing is she has had it over a month- nothing life endangering so far- just exhaustion, but she has to strictly quarantine until she tests negative... and she has no idea when that might be...
The majority of those infected (even if they don't end up in the hospital) have heart damage- we of course don't know if that damage is permanent.
There are also widely reported cognitive deficits after recovery from infection- that scares me more than the heart damage.
Co-workers have lost family to this, so far I have been lucky enough not to- but if we go the Herd Immunity route of the stupid, then I almost certainly will.
This criminal stupidity will probably impact most people- if it isn't personally an outrage to you it should be.

This is not like the cold and flu- the variable impacts it has are spooky
