It is no worse than a cold (at least for folks under 50), unless you have extra hardcore medical issues. Then it gets tough real quick...

The wife and 2 young kids of the 41-year old guy from Louisiana, who had no underlying medical issues, and who was elected to the US House of Representatives, but died from Covid before being sworn in, might not see it that way.

Which means you are in the 99% pool to those evaluating this by memes and thus don't count.

Hospitals have been full of sub-60 year olds without pre existing conditions, but without death, they are treated as fake news.

Meanwhile because of the worst sports rivalry ever, the secondary consequences of covid only truly matter when it comes to mental health.

Deaths by suicide.
Medium cases by severe depression.
Mild cases with livable upticks in anxiety, etc.

All of which are major problems and covid rooting teams are the worst part of a hideous 2020 (just like those on the other team downplaying covid breaking the already weak back of a relationship, restaurant or mental disorder).

I will never understand how we got to the point where death is the only metric people acknowledge. It’s especially ironic since those same people use “pre-existing conditions” to dismiss a virus that seems to have moderate to severe short and long term effects in many patients who do survive.

Never mind that this new strain that initially popped up in the UK, while not as "lethal," seems to be more infectious and affecting the younger age groups more than the initial strain(s) did.

Yeah, just keep on laughing there, Einstein. Is Covid worse than a cold? Of course. Is it some disease that will kill 50%, 10%, or even 5% of those infected, let alone the entire population? No way. There have been 360,951 deaths as of this moment, yet there have been 21,205,055 cases reported (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/), which is 1.7% fatality rate. However, the fatality rate has been at about 1% for the past month or so (if not longer).

One Shot or Two?

Whether the bottleneck is due to vaccine production or distribution, giving people a single shot now and waiting on the second until the shortage abates will get more people vaccinated sooner. But will it work? Here, the clinical trial results for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are reassuring. While they were designed to test the effectiveness of two shots given about a month apart, both showed that the first shot had a substantial benefit beginning around 10 days afterward. In both trials, by the time of the second shot, the first was already 80 to 90 percent effective in preventing covid-19 cases.

Well, I for one, am just glad the only bad long term effect of Covid-19 is the 1% possibility of dying from it. It's be a shame if people who lived were at risk of long term heart, lung, kidney or other sorts of problems as well.

I’ve had severe bacterial pneumonia, and I am not and never will be the same. And that’s when antibiotics were able to help.
