Why on earth would asymptomatic people be hospitalized?
And “mild” just means “you are not at immediate risk of death,” not “it’s going to be an easy illness.”
- labawi 5y agoBecause they are in a hospital with other issues? Testing patients is reasonable. If they are counted in the statistic, it can easily be misleading. Not sure if that's the case.
- Auracle 5y agoMy wife went to the hospital with a mild case. She’s pregnant and had a monoclonal antibody infusion. We went home and she immediately developed a fever/chills/shakes when she hadn’t had any before. So back to the hospital we went, just in case it was a reaction. They gave her some IV fluids and sent us home after 2 hours. So there’s one. I bet a good portion of them are people freaking out once they realize they have it as a considerable portion of the population thinks the survival rate is ridiculously low.
