Bethesda [/quote]

Do you know that? How? [/quote]

DP. Bethesda, Rockville, or Chevy Chase seem like reasonable guesses.[/quote]

Can we not guess during a situation like this? [/quote]

For most people it’s a cold. Calm down.[/quote]

For 20% of people it's not. That's a lot of people. [/quote]

Cite?[/quote]

If 80% of cases are mild, then that means 20% of cases are not mild. It's just math. [/quote]

Again, cite.[/quote]

It's like, on literally every single public health website.  80% of cases are "mild" aka not requiring medical care/ hospitalization/ no pneumonia (not "mild" like... you don't know you're sick, but "mild" like a case of seasonal flu where you're just stuck in bed for 3-4 days with a fever and a cough and then you're good to go) .  20% develop into something requiring more medical care. [/quote]

Have you actually had influenza? It’s not 3-4 days.  If mild cases of covid19 are akin to influenza then it’s not good.  Imagine your household too ill to cook, care for the kids, walk the dog, go to the market.  It’s really not good.[/quote]

Somewhere in the mega thread, there was a citation that said mild cases lasted 2 weeks, severe cases 4-6 weeks.  Damage to lungs in severe cases is expected to take months to heal, if the patient survives the illness.[/quo

A few years ago I got a "flu" tested negative for the actual flu. I had a fever for 10 straight days. I was up at all hours of the night getting in the tub because my whole body hurt so bad I couldn't take it. By day 7 I was crying on the phone with my doctor because it hurt to breathe and I was so so sick for so long. Nothing secondary, just a really terrible flu. It took me weeks to recover. 
These viruses are out there, some are just more widespread than others. With all of them the elderly, very young and immunosuppressed will suffer more than the general public.
I feel like this corona virus is a better scenario than say Ebola, yes its deadly to some population but at lest its not deadly to everyone. [/quote]
