But short of mortality, the undpredictable range and severity of short- and long-term COVID symptoms seem scarier.

I know 5 people who have had it:

You probably know dozens of people who have had it, but they didnt get very sick or sick at all.

"There is nothing from the CDC that I can trust." - Dr. Deborah Birx

“Europe needs to be preparing exactly the same way,” Birx said. “No country, no matter what approach that they have taken, have resulted in enough immunity to protect their population if the virus comes back in the fall."

She said the pandemic, which has infected more than 6 million people worldwide, has been a “wake-up call” for the developed world on the resources and coordination needed to fight a global disease outbreak. Her comments come four days after President Donald Trump pledged to pull out of the World Health Organization and cut off all funding.

“Our supply chains were not made for that kind of dramatic surge and they weren’t anywhere in the world,” Birx said. “The level of stress on the supply chain to the developed world was equal if not greater to the stress I have experienced in resource-limited settings. The things that we ran out of or came close to running out of — it was shocking to me.”

But even Birx thinks the concern is legit...

This Dr. Birx?

I've known 4 that died from it.

As much as I love attending the games, having to wear a mask in my seat is a big turnoff...could be a deal breaker for me
