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?

Because for 20% it's not mild and for 5% it's very dangerous. And we don't have capacity to look after 5% of shitloads of people.
