I suppose the general assumption is this like flu so, you know, get sick watch Netflix.

Clearly it can’t be - mild for corvid is probably more like severe for flu (I guess), that doesn’t sound particularly fun...

Seeing a lot of this “mild doesn’t actually mean mild” stuff getting posted everywhere in the last few days but there have been and are still also plenty reports of people feeling slightly unwell, testing positive and recovering quickly. Also lots of “actual numbers will be much higher due to mild cases not being reported”.

Part of me wondered if the mild is not mild thing is just the latest click bait media tactic.

It does feels like that, another ramping up of the panic levels - there's been weeks of reporting that symptoms can be so light you can barely notice them

I was thinking it’s the other way round, the reports on mild symptoms were down playing it so people didn’t panic. If they’re that mild why shut down everything?
