I don't think we truly know what that looks like yet.

So many people have had this without any symptoms at all. And it will take years to sort of what this disease does to the lungs, brain, etc.

Let's also not forget that we're dealing with a media that likes to hype the bad news. If I had a dollar for every story about how there is a worse disease already discovered in China, how there was a case somewhere of bubonic plague - even hydroxychloroquine became a political football when it was being produced en masse because doctors were prescribing it, despite the fact that it was supposedly deadly. The FDA can't get it's answer straight on that one.

Like I said in my post above - we can't live in fear of this thing. If you are older or have comorbidity, or know a family member who does, by all means take precaution. But I suspect we'll look back on this and believe we probably went a bit overboard on our response.
