Define Mild Symptoms?

https://texags.com/forums/84/topics/3103226

“I think there is an understanding gap between what the medical professionals understand as mild (doesn’t require hospitalization) versus what the general public understands as mild ( a nasty cold that requires you to spend 2weeks on the couch.”

“The problem with the term mild is when used to talk about percentages it is a clinical term. And for that they have 3 categories which from highest to lowest are:
Critical - ICU
Severe - requires hospitalization but not ICU
Mild - anything not requiring hospitalization.

It is a category not a descriptor but can and is used as a descriptor so there is confusion without context. A flu that knocks you on your ass for a week but you can treat from home with rest and fluids is clinically mild but subjectively severe.”

AND: (supposedly at Ft Bragg)

“And I have 2 military bros in their early 30s, superb health, who were having mild symptoms.

Now both in ICU. One in a medically induced coma.”

Man hate to sabotage to “Aggie Revellie” thread re this. But - I believe the hydrochloroquine data. I recommend it. For anyone requiring supplemental O2. FYI for the million time I am a compassionate board certified pulm/CC doc.
