A member asked:
If a family member got a serious case of coronavirus, does that mean everyone else in the family will? is a serious response to coronavirus genetic?

Not necessarily: Family members residing in the same house with an infected person do have a higher risk of infection, but the severity of their illnesses can vary, depending upon age, underlying health condition, etc.
