8. family group with multiple covid cases - who was reported?

Over Christmas our family group of 8 that got together, resulted in 7 covid cases. One was a youth. Of the 6 adults, 3 got Paxlovid and 3 did not. All 6 contacted their doctor but did not actually visit them. Positives were determined by home testing and all had at least some symptoms. So did the 3 who received Paxlovid get reported as cases? Or did all six who reported to a doctor get reported even though the doctor did not examine them? Or did none of them get reported? Or some other number because there were 4 or maybe 5 doctors involved. The one who escaped covid was also a youth. The doctors who refused to prescribe Paxlovid all had different reasons. It is almost as if treatment was at the whim the the individual doctors. I was one who got Paxlovid and the symptoms dissipated quickly. I was negative before the 5 day pill regimen was completed.
