For COVID-19, data to date suggest that 80% of infections are mild or asymptomatic
Hence I said, largely unaffected. I put it at ~60%, so yeah I was wrong. It is more like 80%.
Mild means you don’t require medical treatment.

Mild Illness
In 80% of known cases, COVID-19 causes mild to moderate illness, according to a report of a joint World Health Organization-China mission of 25 infectious disease experts held in China late last month.
At a press conference on March 9, Maria Van Kerkhove, technical lead of the WHO Health Emergencies Program, said: "[A] mild infection starts normally with a fever, although it may take a couple of days to get a fever. You will have some respiratory symptoms; you have some aches and pains. You'll have a dry cough. This is what the majority of individuals will have."
It is "nothing that will make you feel like you need to run to a hospital," says Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.
A mild case of COVID-19 in and of itself is not dangerous. But in some cases — more commonly in older people and in people with underlying health issues — a mild case can progress to a moderate case that could require some supportive care such as fluids for dehydration, typically in an emergency room or urgent care center, especially if hospitals are overwhelmed by the most acute cases.
Moderate
Symptoms of being moderately ill with COVID-19 include coughing, fever above 100.4, chills and a feeling that you don't want to or can't get out of bed, says Adalja.
With shortness, of breath, that "is a wide spectrum and whether we consider treatment will be based on how short of breath they are, their age and other health conditions," says Galea."\
"Is it shortness of breath after climbing a flight of stairs or when there's no activity — for example, when you're just sitting in a chair?" says Dr. Theresa Madaline, hospital epidemiologist at the Montefiore Health System in New York City.
In either case, there's cause for concern with a confirmed or suspected COVID-19 case. "Shortness of breath [with this virus] is a symptom to always check with a health care provider. Period," says Dr. Kenneth E. Lyn-Kew, a pulmonologist in the Section of Critical Care Medicine and Department of Medicine at National Jewish Health in Denver.
That's because shortness of breath can be caused by low oxygen levels in the blood. Blood carries oxygen to organs and tissues, and low levels can lead to organ shutdown or even death.
For patients with moderate symptoms, hospitalization is unlikely unless they are having difficulty drawing a breath or are dehydrated. Signs of dehydration can include increased thirst, dry mouth, decreased urine output, yellow urine, dry skin, a headache and dizziness.
Severe
During the March 9 press conference, Dr. Van Kerkhove said that "while pneumonia can often resolve on its own, especially in younger people, in older people and in those with underlying health conditions, pneumonia can be life-threatening or require hospitalization, especially if their immune system is weak."
The concern, says Galea, is that in severe cases, without giving a patient supplemental oxygen or if needed a respirator to aid breathing, a patient's organs can shut down and the patient can die, says Galea. People with pneumonia can also get secondary bacterial infections, which can be life-threatening and require treatment with intravenous antibiotics.
A different problem can occur if the disease progresses. The virus can enter lung cells and start replicating, killing the cells. The immune system may take action to fight the virus, creating inflammation, destroying lung tissue and sometimes resulting in a more severe form of pneumonia.
This [immune system] response can impair the ability to get oxygen into the blood. Without enough oxygen, inflammation can become more severe and result in organ failure.

Yea I’d say so. That’s why they always talk about building immunities. Don’t hide from life. Let your children play on the floor. Don’t wrap them or yourself in plastic and hide from life. That is the worst thing in the long run. They say children who grow up with dogs have pretty good immune systems.
I really think people need to get out and get infected. The sooner the better. I still think having covid camps is a good idea. Purposely build Community immunity ... coimmunity lol..
This isn't like a chickenpox party man. More like a polio party. People should avoid all contact with the infected. I'm not getting covid, if you want to lick doorknobs go right ahead but don't think I'm drinking the covid koolaide

We are well and truly fucked until there is an effective vaccine, gentlemen and ladies. Our best hope is perhaps that some of the strains cause weak illnesses like other coronaviruses and those are the ones that end up getting a foothold during each cycle.
In millions of years of human history and our interactions with pathogens this is the one where we're fucked without a vaccine.
Yea ok

For understandable psychological reasons we become ensconced in a worldview that uses metaphysical beliefs as a way to defend against, distort, or reframe legitimate human suffering, vulnerability to illness and accidents, trauma, injustice, and painful emotions as not really being what they are.
We then fetishize the supposedly “spiritual” ability to dissociate, rationalize (i.e. make up a dishonest story about an unpleasant truth), deny and endlessly put a light-and-love spin on events.

On the left, being red-pilled might also be a way of talking about becoming woke on social justice issues — a term that I think is useful and on point to some extent, but can also have its own conspiracy-style adherents.
On the other side of that Venn-diagram, the red pill metaphor has been more recently adopted by alt-right figures like Candace Owens as representing a conservative awakening from their perceived conditioned trance of being liberal, anti-Trump, and concerned about inequality and the oppression of minorities.
Followers of the far-right unhinged online conspiracy rants of QAnon and Alex Jones that led to the Pizzagate debacle believe they have been red-pilled.
In the overlapping center of the Venn-diagram lie figures like yoga community YouTube comedian JP Sears, whose recent video satirizing people who believe the “mainstream media” on Covid-19 is approaching 4 million views. His legions of subscribers and followers see him as having taken the red pill.
how come trans people aren't even on the diagram?

cheese and crackers people.
My mom and I just did a virtual hair session the other week. Her hair stylist wrapped up all the color mixing stuff, wrote me instructions for mixing, hopped on face time and told me what to do and showed me on her daughter's head. No cutting, just color, which is what mom wanted(can't have your roots show through when the world is ending!) I'm happy to say that while it might not look as professionally done as when the stylist cuts and colors herself, it looks presentable and pretty damn good if I do say so myself.

I can't help but wonder what kind of crazy medical experiments Trump has authorized the military to do as part of this Operation Warp Speed that we won't find out about until they're declassified decades from now.

I rode the bus, it was scary, it was free though, the pay machine was up by the driver and you couldnt get within 3 meteres of it, you just get in the back door, and there was mandatory hand sanitizer, but no one was wearing a mask, I was the only one with a face covering, and the bus was packed, I swear people were just riding it cause it was free and not because they had to go somewhere, I decided to walk back home instead of take the bus both ways, I should have walked there too
