The northern hemisphere is going into colder weather could see huge outbreaks.

The point is there are two parts to a disease, the way it reacts and spreads in the community, and what it is like when you contract it. The point was being made about the virus’s affect on one individual, it is on average mild with vast majority of the time. If you were forced to choose, would you choose Ebola or Covid? Innocuous is probably the wrong word, but so many people have no or mild symptoms when positive for Covid, means that you have to say it’s symptoms for most people are mild. But this is also why it spreads so rampantly, many people who think they just have a sore throat can spread a disease that is extremely dangerous to the elderly. I don’t think you will get many people going out shopping or to work with Ebola.
