This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Can I ask you to at least guess at something by ndgotrobbedin97
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.
