But I think it's stupid to just look at the mortality rate, because that's really the most extreme outcome for a case of COVID-19. There is still very little information out there about the consequential damages from a COVID-19 infection and those seem to be plenty. One of the co-workers for a company I do some freelance consultancy got hit pretty hard and has been unable to work for more than two months now, it's still not clear if he'll ever totally recover. He's a guy in his 40s, two of his family members died from the virus, only one was 65+. I know a few "mild" cases, that still took a month or so to recover. The data out there is simply not reliable and still totally incomplete. From a friend that works in a hospital, I've heard lots of bad stories. When their ICUs were at peak capacity back in April, it was like a major catastrophe hit, every single day. Maybe we should keep this in perspective.
