There are reports, that plenty of those "80%" mild cases have pneumonia and permanent lung scaring (aka, you will never be able to play intense sports), even though they don't end up in a tube/forced oxygenation....

Sorry, I'd rather take a 2 months economy hit, than a long term burn.... which will cause a longer term economic problem as well.

You’re gonna have to give a source for that, that sounds like complete doomer bullshit, I’ve been following this since early January and the only reports of permanent lung scarring are being mostly attributed to the need for mechanical intubation or absolute critical cases. Like anything else, it would be worse the older you are.

If you get pneumonia it can’t be a mild cases

People really need to stop spreading misinformation.

The decision isn't to either get it now or not at all. The decision if you'd like to get it now or later.

If you decide to get it now, you probably have a job. If you decide to get it later, you quite possibly don't.

And if everyone gets it now the health system collapses, 15% of the infected die and anyone who needs a hospital for any life-saving reason also dies.

getting it later there's also a greater chance that an anti-viral treatment may become available.
