Did he pass it to anyone else before going into the hospital? He was making a risk decision that didn't just impact him or his wife and 5 kids. It impacted everyone he might come into contact with.
Someone gave it to him who likely"knew the risks" too.
Scary stuff. Just kidding IDGAF
Everyone he came in contact with had the same choices. It’s on them not him.

He bowls overhand.
The cases map looks ominous, but the deaths and hospitalization maps are completely benign. The CDC isn't even tracking fatalities per 100k in roughly half of the country.
It's over. Give it a rest. It's the internet, so of course everyone got COVID-19 four times and spent 3 weeks in the hospital.

Update to the study from Massachusetts showing the majority infected at a weekend event were vaccinated:
www.nytimes.com
The actual story: 60,000 people attended a gay party week and generally acted like covid doesn’t exist. Of the 60,000 visitors plus residents 968 were infected. Of those, 7 were hospitalized and no one died.
The NYT headline:
It's Nowhere Near Over': A Beach Town's Gust of Freedom, Then a U-turn
Scary, scary stuff. Probably other viruses spread there scarier than scaryvirus:
“By the end of the week, Mr. Katsurinis was taking reports of positive coronavirus cases all gay men, with an average age of 30 to 35, many of whom had seen a doctor for other reasons, like flu symptoms or sexually transmitted infections, not suspecting the coronavirus. What puzzled him, he said, was that so many of the infected people were vaccinated.”

Provincetown, Mass., the quirky community at the tip of Cape Cod, thought it was safe to return to prepandemic partying. It wasn’t.

How sick were they? Were they symptomatic?
Also, nobody died, so... what's the problem?
Not clicking on anything from NYT, and definitely not subscribing to read.

That’s the point. They’re doing their damnedest to make a non-event sound scary. Yet sheeple are still eating it up.
Enough to see a doctor. Probably a few thousands more that just had it and never knew.
I see it as a good news story. Vaccine = screw the virus.
I knew you wouldn’t read the article so I even included a couple snippets. You could at least read that much.
I'd already read the article.
So to answer “how sick were they” the answer should be “not very” as the doctor quoted said “many” of those diagnosed came in for other ailments like STD’s. That plus some common sense seeing that of almost 1000 detected cases only 7 were hospitalized with/for scaryvirus.
How often do you go see a doctor when you are sick? Every little cold or sniffle? Does"many" equal most?
Probably a hell of a lot more just enjoyed a mild cold.
I think we are in agreement on the main point of the article

Unfortunately, that's not the tune coming from our federally elected political leadership, nor from the leaders of many states and municipalities. Hence the frustration.
The case fatality rate in Mar-Apr of last year was 7%. It stabilized at 1.5-2% from last summer to this spring when testing became more available. After the vaccine has been promulgated more widely in the spring, it now sits at 0.4% - in line with the seasonal flu.
Tracking total cases as a sole metric is silly, but here we are.

I think this may be a factor in discussions, with those with prior infections.

Even mild cases of COVID-19 may lead to loss of brain tissue, according to findings from a long-term study involving 782 volunteers.
