One time when I was a child I stepped on a ground bees nest. I was maybe 8 or ten years old. I was freaking out and got stung over 140 times, thought I'd die. My dad, in an attempt to save me, was stung over 100 times himself and dragged my ass from the scene. It was a mess.
My dad, as we were deep within the swarm yelled to my brother "RUN DUSTIN! RUN SONOFAfluff OWWW RUN MOTHERfluffER RUN." My brother, having no idea of what was happening and not having it happen to him, replied with "why?" Why would he run? He sees no danger. He walked closer to see what was happening instead of listening to the two of us screaming for him to run. He just didnt understand why he needed to.
As soon as he got close enough to the swarm to get stung one time tho, his ass was off to the races.
For those of us who have had covid, like myself, we can only say it's really fluffing bad. 2 months later I'm still tired all day. I struggled to breathe throughout the night, didnt sleep at all, had hallucinations and still have not fully recovered. It's a nightmare. And I can scream "RUN MOTHERfluffER" but the truth is some folks need it to get it in their community and see it to believe it. Unfortunately with 125,000 new cases per day I'm certain they will. And then they'll understand why people were screaming at them.

Must be worse in the big cities....
Know alot have people that have had it. One case was bad. The other say the flu is worse
I have about 30 friends who SAY they had it but never tested positive, or never got tested at all. I also had a bout with something else that kicked my ass back in march. Always thought it was covid, it wasnt. I am a cigarette smoker tho, so I assume it probably sucked a bit more. Most of the time it felt like someone had a belt around my chest, but other times I'd have panic attacks searching for air and stuff. If they are guessing they had it, they probably didn't. If they got positive tests, they probably did. And assuming that about 0.3% of the population got it positively so far (just going 10m positive tests vs 300m ppl, basic nonscientific ee math), asymptomatic peeps probably make up another 0.5 maybe. 0.7? This whole thing has JUST STARTED. MAYBE 1% of us have gotten it. If you haven't woke up with no sense of smell, chest pains, and not knowing where the hell you were it was probably something else. Some days it's just having no smell but being confused and forgetful. fluffin rollercoaster.
Ask your 30 friends how many have had positive tests. That's important.
At this point tho, I remember reading that we are actually dealing with several mutations of the virus. Not gonna drop data because I dont have it or remember it, but I remember reading certain strains are more contagious and others are more deadly etc. And I remember reading that the texas strain had a large number of infections with pretty low symptoms, but I'm kinda shooting something I read in a science journal a couple months ago out of my ass.
Baseball is a great example tho. They had dozens of positives. Certain guys, like Kenley Jansen, barely pitched in the series because they got their ass kicked and were in and out for months. Tarik Skubal damn near missed the whole year, and starter Daniel norris only had the arm to come out of the pen all year because he was still fatigued 4 months after infection. Other guys it was like 10 days and a negative test and they went back to throwing double 0s.
Just one of them things where if 10 of us get it, only 4 of us get sick and get better and for 1 or 2 of us it's a fluffin nightmare.
I did read that for people over 70 the death rate is 4.28% and for people over 80 it's a solid 8.2%. In fact, 80% of US covid deaths were seniors. I think for people my age, some of us get fluffed up, some of us dont, but only rarely do any of us need the ventilator and it's probably people with asthma or something. Its way harder on old fluffs.
