Only a small percentage get covid pneumonia and we don’t know why. Although the death rate is 1 percent, that’s not the rate of very sick people. It’s not just 1 percent die and the other 99 percent are great. It’s 1 percent won’t survive. 10 percent will need hospitalization. 20 percent will have more than a moderate illness, severe. And 70 percent will tough it out at home.
Many who survive will never be the same or will be disabled, but we have yet to see how much. It’s more than 1 percent.
Not that this is more than any average risk, it’s just another risk, which affect people.
Despite worrying about risks, we do need to accept we have them. Worrying about them doesn’t affect them. But knowing about them helps us accept them.
