    My sister has been receiving chemotherapy for many years. She today tested positive for Covid 19 today . She is not vaccinated. She says she's very weak and tired. Her roommate is very sick with Covid too. Should they be in the hospital?

    I have Follicular Lymphoma cancer, my immune system is compromised - I would probably have a very bad reaction to the Vaccine and be worse off.
