Can I ask you to at least guess at something

Because I'm sure there isn't a perfect answer given the lack of overall %'s available.

We hear a lot about how 50% (or so) of people are asymptomatic, and only a few get so sick that they head to the hospital.

What we never hear about is the percentage (here is where guessing may come in?) of people who get the virus, get sick---but not sick enough to get admitted, and what their symptoms and ride through the illness may look like. I think if the public knew more about this side of the thing it may demystify the illness.

Are young people getting sick (showing symptoms) in reasonable numbers, or is it only people at a certain age/morbidity that have this mid-range/mild illness?

If you can't answer, no big deal, but I thought you might have some idea.
