> You have moved the goalposts from "not hospitalized" to "asymptomatic or very minor symptoms". About half the people I know who got covid (and knew about it) had, or are currently having, a very unpleasant time.
And 100% of the people I know who had it (measured in the tens; including myself) have had no lingering symptoms at all.
Anecdotes are not science. It is not "moving the goalposts" to note that lingering symptoms correlate with severity. The authors of the paper have already shown this, but didn't break it down enough.
