"Mild" COVID-19 means you're bedridden with fever and breathing problems for a week.
- klmadfejno 6y agoPlease don't make things up. A mild case is mild. Bedridden with fever for weeks is not mild. https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/03/13/814691018/coronavirus-symptoms-defining-mild-moderate-and-severe https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/03/13/8146910... > In 80% of known cases, COVID-19 causes mild to moderate illness, according to a report of a joint World Health Organization-China mission of 25 infectious disease experts held in China late last month. > At a press conference on March 9, Maria Van Kerkhove, technical lead of the WHO Health Emergencies Program, said: "[A] mild infection starts normally with a fever, although it may take a couple of days to get a fever. You will have some respiratory symptoms; you have some aches and pains. You'll have a dry cough. This is what the majority of individuals will have." > It is "nothing that will make you feel like you need to run to a hospital," says Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. > A mild case of COVID-19 in and of itself is not dangerous.
