From the blog of author Charles Stross:

"That's 78% of a cohort, average age 49, of whom 67% had recovered at home (ie. disease was not categorized as severe enough to need hospitalization). Cohort was normalized with respect to other risk factors relative to uninfected patients. Diagnosis by MRI."

and their likely treatment course.

The problem, of course, is that we humans are an individualistic lot and don't like fitting snugly into one category, so frequently we'll drift into multiple categories during an illness. Still, it is interesting to see what the likely course of treatment might be, and it's good to know that, unlike when this all began, that we aren't going to be thrown on a ventilator like we all expected.

I had a telemedicine appointment with my lung doctor last week, and he said that if I do get sick with COVID, to do my best to treat at home as long as possible and to contact him and he'll get medicines to me. He's based in El Paso and they're in pretty bad shape.
