His case was mild? By what metric? His case was fairly serious. His case is also not typical for most people who get it.
- wukerplank 6y agoThe metric seems to be: Everybody who is not in intensive care is counted as a mild case.
- rumanator 6y ago> His case is also not typical for most people who get it. I'm not sure you are right on that. The author reported a fever, coughing, fatigue, and difficulties concentrating. He didn't reported loss of consciousness nor strokes nor organ failure nor heart attacks. By the author's own words, he felt like his case didn't justified a trip to the hospital. That's pretty much the definition of a mild run-of-the-mill covid19 case.
- CJefferson 6y agoOver 40% of covid cases are asymptomatic,so I imagine (dont have good evidence I admit), the median case should e fairly mild.
- rumanator 6y agoI don't see the point you're trying to make. Perhaps you want to interpret asymptomatic cases, or presymptomatic cases as mild. That's something no one in the world does because by definition mild cases are cases where you experience mild symptoms.
- CJefferson 6y agoI misread your post, sorry. The point I was trying to (poorly) make, is that if 40% of posts are asymptomatic, the median case is probably extremely mild (unless as soon as people have symptoms they are very serious, which seems unlikely).
- throwawaygh 6y ago> His case was mild? GP: >>> TL;DR: He had a fever and cough and is fine now.
