The Blogfather: SO I HAD COVID FOR CHRISTMAS.

Earlier on, we thought that the death rate would be over 1%. It's closer to 0.3%. So, the overwhelming majority of people suffer for a short period and then recover.

They're already extremely weak -- they have lower muscle mass.

That Rippetoe guy was on to something.
