“Mild” in this case means you don’t go to the hospital (and/or the morgue). It doesn’t rule out long COVID or extremely severe (from a layman’s perspective) symptoms.
And that’s the same as other “mild” COVID infections, yep. The ones where you don’t die. You ignorant dipshit.
- jjulius 5y agoWell that last bit sure came out of left field.
- op00to 5y agoDude was being an ignorant dipshit. Deserved it.
- snakeboy 5y agoHow did he deserve it exactly? They were being snarky, sure, but population-wide infection hospitalization rate is estimated around 2-3%, so yes, the vast majority of Covid cases were mild. That's not even a controversial statement.
- dham 5y agoHave you never had a severe cold when you were young or did you get one of those stupid attendance trophies in school? Geez. I'm starting to wonder if anyone on Hacker news has ever gone through any hardship.
- chrisjs95 5y agoLet me guess. You're single, have no kids and wear a mask in the car. You're deathly afraid of this virus because you watch CNN everyday. You have 2 doses of vaccine and 5 boosters? You talk about long Covid but haven't been sick in 10 years. The term post viral syndrome is foreign to you?
