I'm personally feeling pretty uncomfortable with comparisons to flu and the cold today.
One of the guys on my team has just got out of hospital, he is in his mid-20s with no underlying conditions. Yet when be caught Covid he ended up in hospital on oxygen, was admitted to ICU, there was talk of him having to be intubated before he started to recover. That doesn't sound like a sniffly nose or a bad case of the runs to me.
I know it's only an anecdote, a single data point, but it means a lot more to me.
