At my bro's shop a worker got it and possibly a second. It's a small shop and everyone is around each other often enough, and they aren't super careful with masks either. About a month ago one worker in his early 50's had cold symptoms for a few days near the end of the week. A friend of his in their late 40's at the shop had a really bad cough the following Monday, went to get tested, and was positive, had to quarantine. He assumes he got it from his friend, the other worker, who was now on vacation hunting for the week. Initial worker never found out if they had it or not, but said their symptoms stopped days later and that was it. Warned his hunting group after the fact that it could have been covid, but apparently none of them got sick. Second worker ended up quite sick during the week, though apparently that's pretty normal for them when they get sick I guess. No loss of taste or smell either.

Nobody else got sick at all there though, and none of them have heard from anyone they've been around getting sick, which my bro and his co workers find really odd based on the circumstances considering how easily it's suppose to spread. My bro rarely get's really sick, though he get's sick often enough, way more than I do. Almost seems as much as covid can spread, it's pretty particular as to who it can infect. While not necessarily likely, though possible, my bro could have been immune already.

Mid Jan of this year there was a Chinese couple who came to my parents farm for a sale tour of the property, who had just come over from China for the week, and both were clearly sick. Mom ended up getting pretty sick with a cough and actually went to the hospital a few days later, because apparently she woke up early and was having a little trouble breathing and it didn't pass after a while. That's not normal for her at all. The hospital didn't seem to concerned though, and by lunch she said she felt mostly normal again, and by the next morning back to normal. My bro saw her the day after and got fairly sick afterwards as well but nothing that worrisome. Both my dad and I saw him while he was sick and neither of us got sick. When covid became a concern here months later, we all kinda wondered if that's what they had potentially. Maybe, maybe not.
