To want to know what % of the rising Covid cases are asymptomatic/mild symptoms?

Because it does matter. Of course Covid can be serious if passed to the vulnerable, but so can loads of viruses we dont pay this much attention to.

If actually most people are only mildly affected by this, that information needs to be made public.

Yes I agree and think this would help my mental health.

Sunday we were told of case on neighbours farm. I was feeling terribly anxious. Turns out twenty one year old was contacted via track and trace, asked to test, was positive. Entire family isolating, she is in her room, no symptoms and absolutely fine.

I would personally feel happier knowing more about this.

Loads of "cases" in schools but apparently you have 1 person testing positive & whole class then getting tested, many of whom have no symptoms!

I assume that the fact the hospital admissions are relatively low still and haven't risen in line with positive cases means that the vast majority of cases are mild or asymptomatic?
