It’s the either/or virus.
Either you get it and it’s mild.
Or it tries to kill you.
Perhaps the real issue is that we are *all* susceptible to it at the same time.
Unlike other circulating coronaviruses that have been in humanity for who knows how long. That don’t get all of us at the same time because some of us have seen them before.
If CoVid-19 stays in the upper respiratory tract, you’ll recover and it will most likely be mild or asymptomatic. If it moves into the lower respiratory tract, you’re hosed.
