Is Cassius death curse in effect already?

I_hate_lotr:
Starting to think it's in effect already. Everyone who is close to him has gotten hurt or killed. Michael is seriously injured. Molly became the winter lady. Murphy has died. Thomas is locked up. Every single person has been hurt or killed or pushed away since that curse has been laid on him.
Which leads to this scary thought, what happens if Maggie is hurt or killed?

forumghost:
I mean on the one hand we have a WoJ saying that Harry mostly got out from under that the first time he died, on the other hand iirc we have a different WoJ saying he's still suffering because of the effects of the curse.

Personally I think that if Snake boy didn't have the Juice to kill Dresden in the Museum, it makes little sense that he'd have enough juice to Ice everyone Harry gets close to years later, but who can say.

Mira:

  However it wasn't much of a curse.  As Malcolm pointed out to Harry in his dream," everyone dies alone."  Also both Molly and Michael are very much alive, so is Thomas last we checked.

LostInTime:
Maggie and Bonnie are both still alive. Still uncertain if the curse attached itself to Harry's penis. Susan and Murphy are both dead. Luccio and Elaine still seem to be alive. Lara is an unknown quantity for now.

And there are a whole lot of other people in Harry's circle.  I have to run down the exact quote, I think it is in Dead Beat.  It is when Harry dreams or has a vision of meeting up with his Dad by a camp fire.  That's when Malcolm told him not to be overly alarmed by that curse, because everyone walks though death's door alone.

Here is the quote I was looking for from Dead Beat page 420 paper back version

--- Quote ---"Harry." my dad said, and his voice was very gentle, "can I tell you something?"
"Sure."
He walked around the grave and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Son.  Everyone does alone.  That's what it is.  It's a door.  It's one
person wide.  When you go through it, you do it alone."  His fingers
squeezed me tight.  "But it doesn't mean you've got to be alone before you go
through the door.  And believe me, you aren't alone on the other side."
--- End quote ---

So what I think Malcolm was trying to tell Harry, as long as he has friends, he won't be alone as he walks through life.  That is true unless Harry succeeds in alienating everyone he knows.  And when he does walk through that door alone, there are a lot of loved ones waiting for him on the other side.
