Meh, the lung damage was "mild" in the bulk of the cases.

Not always. COVID-19 was described as “mild” at the outset. Turns out their operational definition of “mild” was something like “doesn’t require a trip to the ICU even though it may require hospitalization.” Not everything you read will use the word “mild” in its conventional sense.
