How can it be worse for most people if most people don't even notice it and that being one of the reasons why the virus spreads quickly? People mention infection's side-effects, yet no one was screening those with side-effects prior their infection to definitively establish causation.
- alphabettsy 6y agoNot most people, but Death isn’t worse?
- cameldrv 6y agoMost people do notice it. The real problem is that most people don't notice it until after they've been spreading it for a couple of days.
- jokethrowaway 6y agoHard to say. There are tons of studies on the subject and they all have different findings. The number of asymptomatic covid positive people who got tested was found to be between 5% and 90% (not talking about pre-symptomatic, aka people who developed symptoms in the next weeks). There seems to be a correlation with age, the younger you are, the less likely you have symptoms. Considering that asymptomatic people are less likely to be tested than people with symptoms, this is a lower bound. I'm inclined to believe the majority of cases are asymptomatic and that therefore that most people don't notice it.
- artursapek 6y agoDefinitely a lower bound. In reality cases have probably been several multiples higher (and mortality rate several multiples lower).
