afaict the baseline rates are 50% asynptomatic, 30% mild, 20% severe. But these are pretty misleading because it varies wildly by age and I’ve only seen breakouts for estimate mortality rate, not symptom severity. You might be able to guesstimate though

Well the asymptomatic seems hard to take seriously unless they are doing random population sampling, which I don't think anybody is, but yeah, the age variation is the big uncertainty factor. Also comorbidity effects with other conditions (including regular flu)

yeah it's interesting how the media focus is on fatality even though morbidity is probably more relevant since 97% of patients survive (but at what cost?)
