What’s the percent of severe vs mild cases of non-fatal covidism?
Ideally worse than flu/milder than flu stats would be nice to have.

Honestly, i'm still not sure how to tell apart flu and covid symptoms apart. Second-guessing my every small cough sneeze or headache.
The only thing i am certain of is that my hands have never been cleaner.

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?)

The WHO experts who came back from Wuhan on Feb 24 estimate that ~20% of known cases end up in the hospital for weeks, a quarter of which require artificial respiration.

Hospitalization rate stats is probably going to the the best we can get for a while.
This comment has the stats for China then links to sources

Then you can probably cross reference with typical flu hospitalization rate to get a guesstimate
