Not even "The Rock" Dwayne Johnson is exempt:
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been hit with chairs in the wrestling ring and verbally taken to task by Kevin Hart multiple times in film. However, on Wednesday, he said his most current challenge is “one of the most difficult” he’s had to face, especially as it involves his wife and two youngest daughters.
In a video uploaded to Instagram, Johnson revealed that he, his wife Lauren, and their two daughters, Jasmine, 4, and Tiana, 2, contracted COVID-19 and have been attempting to heal as a family for nearly three weeks.
“I’ve gone through some doozies in the past,” the Jumanji star says of his diagnosis. “Testing positive for COVID-19 is much different than overcoming nasty injuries, or being evicted, or even being broke, which I have been more than a few times.”
Johnson adds that while he wishes he was the only one in his household who contracted the disease caused by novel coronavirus, his loved ones were also suffering. His daughters, he details, suffered from sore throats and recovered relatively quickly. However, he and his wife had a “rough go at it.”

Hopefully he won't have any lingering symptoms. What worries me about the lingering symptoms, is they can affect young, very healthy, active people and they are not just specific to COVID-19, This happens with other viruses as well and the symptoms this man describes below are what I am still feeling years after recovering from another virus. For some people these symptoms never go away and physicians do not know how to treat them or what causes this to happen in the first place, so we have no current means of making is subside. They pretty much make daily life hell. Constant pain, dizziness, difficulty breathing and often confusion and " brain fog". Just trying to lean over to unload the dishwasher becomes extremely dangerous because it can make me pass out.
These are the lingering symptoms are what worry me the most:
"I Fear I’ll Never Be The Same: Here’s What It’s Really Like To Be A COVID Long-hauler
“After the initial infection cleared up in April, new ailments, combined with old symptoms, set in.”
Ever since coming down with COVID-19 symptoms in late January, my body feels as though it has been put through the grueling paces of the New York City Marathon without having the proper training for the 26.2-mile run. Or for the tech-savvy, like an iPhone 6S that won’t charge beyond 50 percent.
If I overexert myself, I get a burning, acidic feeling in my lungs, and breathing becomes difficult. A dry cough, along with heart palpitations, come and go. Every muscle and joint aches. If I stand up too quickly, the room gets dark and I nearly pass out.
Electric-like zaps, along with nerve-tingling, radiate throughout my arms, legs and feet. I’m in a constant “brain fog,” always having trouble processing what I’ve just read or heard, or constantly trying to remember familiar names, dates and facts. I have constant pounding headaches that make it extremely difficult to do much of anything. And my dreams — when I can actually get more than three hours of sleep — are intense, bizarre and movie-like.
Welcome to the life of a COVID-19 “long-hauler.” It’s a terrible place to be — a kind of purgatory between being sick and being healed, not having a mild case or a severe-enough one to be on a ventilator in the hospital intensive care unit."

People experiencing these symptoms may never be able to return to work or be able to do much of what they previously enjoyed. It is going to be rough and with and extremely lacking safety net in the US, there are not many options for survival for those who are going to come out of this with the same symptoms I have already.
