This whole covid-insanity has a huge knowledge hole about the mild cases, which do not require hospitalizations and would show what the vast majority of the population can expect: nothing.
but I guess if you don't die it won't generate clicks and viral shares, so nobody care about your recovery. kthxby. just kidding. glad to know you are fine. just remember that recurring infections by variations is what killed young brave doctors. continue to take care.
- tehjoker 7y ago~50% will be asymptomatic, of the remaining 50% you'll see a range of issues from "mild" illness, to feeling like a truck hit you, to hospitalization, to critical care. I do not think however that COVID is sensationalized. If nothing is done, we would see 100ks - >1M deaths. That is traumatic for a society. Those numbers of course, would result from 100M+ people infected.
- cgb223 7y agoCan we get a source for the 50% asymptomatic claim? Not doubting you just never heard it before

Here's a news article about the Diamond Princess. There's an accompanying paper, but it might take me some time to find it. Another paper about the experience in Wuhan reported a similar figure. edit: https://cmmid.github.io/topics/covid19/severity/diamond_cruise_cfr_estimates.html https://cmmid.github.io/topics/covid19/severity/diamond_crui... https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.03.20030593v1 https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.03.20030593v...
