My elderly mother got flu two winters ago. Laid her up for weeks. This isnt "long flu". It just kicked her ass and took a bit to overccome. Same for me with pneumonia a few years back. I was ok after 2 weeks but not fully "right" for a few months. So it goes. Noone freaked out.

And since the curve is *exponential*, that means that comparing the hospitalization rate right now to the case rate right now is *extra* misleading

The "lag" when talking about anything related to COVID-19 is a perfect opportunity to lie with statistics and is the whole reason average people are cognitively underequipped to handle this crisis and keep on fucking it up because their sense of urgency is miscalibrated

Also, lots of people in the US will do literally anything to avoid going to the hospital because they can't afford it.

COVID also has a quite long time to first symptom. I have a known exposure and first symptom date, and the lag was 10 days, which is common. Thankfully (?) I was having migraines and didn’t go out unless I had to, which is why my exposure date is known.
