I know someone in her 40s who got it and is not overweight. She said it was terrible and that she's definitely getting the vaccine because she never wants to get it again.
What exactly would you consider a non-mild respiratory virus?
- __blockcipher__ 6y ago> What exactly would you consider a non-mild respiratory virus? SARS-1 is an example of a non-mild respiratory virus. We don't know quite as much about it since it never became a massive global phenomenon the way SARS-2 did, but the research I've read basically indicates that a "run-of-the-mill" SARS-1 infection is much like a severe COVID-19 case. People seem to really be taking issue with my statement, and I think it comes down to them conflating "mild respiratory virus for the majority of the population" with "mild respiratory virus for everyone". Here's one simple way to put it: if "asymptomatic COVID-19" (which is an oxymoron but I'll spare you that rant) is as common as they say it is, that's an indication that it is a mild respiratory virus in many people.
