The only thing, however, that it seems like is not discussed enough on this thread is non-lethal impact of the virus (even on healthy/young people).

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to look for in that link.

One of the studies on asymptomatic cases was on 10 patients with a mean age of 65 years old. 2 were there for treatment of underlying disorders and 3 others were there for surgical operations. So 50% had other health issues at the outset and they were all older. Hardly the healthy/young.

One other study states: Limitations of the study include the lack of information on symptom history before acute COVID-19 illness and the lack of details on symptom severity... without a control group of patients discharged for other reasons. Patients with community-acquired pneumonia can also have persistent symptoms, suggesting that these findings may not be exclusive to COVID-19

Ages were 19-84 (avg 56.5)...many with pre-existing conditions...avg hospital stay of 14 days and study questions were asked within 60 days of first onset. You lay very many 57 ( I know it's an average) year olds up for 2 weeks and you will have some folks complaining of issues 1 month later ie. fatigue etc...

It's still to early to tell what long term effects, if any, may be seen.

I know some people who have had it...who doesn't? Most have bounced back to normal quickly. I'm going to go with that.

I promise Chrome...no more long replies after the graphs are back up.
