Just went through this exact scenario. Here's what I learned (because it is going to spread through your family):
Kids do just fine. It's a breeze for them to get over it.
Adults traditionally have done well, but whatever variant has led to kid-to-adult transmission tends to suck.
Don't expect ANY healthcare providers to treat you for anything because they won't.
Follow the iMASK+ protocol on covid19criticalcare.com
Use horse ivermectin, it's the same as pills. Easy to dial plunger to whatever your weight is and take that much daily (about the amount of toothpaste on a toothbrush.)
If you are struggling, find a clinic offering monoclonal antibodies. They aren't requiring you to have a lot of comorbidities to qualify for MCA.
Please do all of this! We found a chart on here with dosage for vit D, vit C, zinc, and quercetin. The quercetin is extremely important in order for the zinc to work. You should start this now whether you feel okay or not. I got sick followed by my husband and our 2 kids, 9 and 1.5. The kids were fine! The older one was sick for only a matter of hours. It felt like a very long, drawn out flu for myself and husband. Most of my extended family was sick. 3 of my (adult) siblings developed double pneumonia. Two of them were admitted to the hospital with extremely low oxygen. One had already taken ivermectin and got the monoclonal antibodies right after being admitted and he did really well, he also was put on these vitamins with quercetin.. My sister was denied all of this and put on a ventilator, 5 days total. She improved the day after we started the vitamin regiment listed above. They are both home now! It is IMPERATIVE that you do all that you can to avoid pneumonia. That's the real danger. Force yourself to stay well hydrated and eat. Stay as active as you can without over extending yourself. If you get sick do NOT sleep on your back..side sleep if you must but mainly sleep in prone positioning (belly) and watch a video on how to do it correctly so you don't mess up your back/neck.
Everybody has covered the meds and protocols, but I never see anyone mention pulmonary hygiene. Since you mentioned avoiding pneumonia I though I'd drop this advice from our physician right here.
"As a medical student in the ‘70's at the VA Hospital, I would need to get up at 3 AM to perform an order for "Pulmonary Toilet.” In the 21st Century, political correctness renamed the process “Pulmonary Hygiene.” Either way, it’s getting the yucky mucus out of the lungs.
The premise is simple- put a glass of water on your front porch. In a few days, it turns brown, and has little things swimming around in it. But a garden hose trickling for days stays clear. Stagnant fluid in the lungs turns badly infected, and needs to be removed. Here are the three processes we teach--they should be done 3-4 times a day.
TURN, COUGH, AND DEEP BREATHE- Lie in bed on your right side, cough hard, take a deep breath, and turn to your left side and repeat. Do this for 5 minutes. Imagine trying to get honey from the bottom of a jar to the sides. Same idea.
INCENTIVE SPIROMETRY- If you have one of those gadgets with balls that rise as you take a deep breath; perfect. Otherwise, improvise by exhaling totally, take as deep a breath as deeply as possible, hold it for 5-10 seconds, exhale, and repeat the process for 5 minutes. We need the airways open, and this accomplishes that.
PERCUSSION AND DRAINAGE- Again we improvise for home use. You'll need a partner wearing PPE (protective personal equipment). They cup each hand and begin playing the bongos on your back as you lie over a table with your shirt off. They should pound fairly hard. After about a minute, they should leave the room as you cough deeply to remove as much fluid as possible. Repeat the process for five minutes or more."

Keep active even if you don't feel like it.

Take care brother. God bless!
Great advice!
