Always a bad idea not to attribute a source to claims such as that.
Dr Tedros Adhanom, Director General of WHO said recently that over 80% of those infected suffer mild symptoms, 14% severe symptoms such as pneumonia/shortness of breath, 5% critical symptoms, including respiratory failure, and 2% die. He went on to say the risk of death increases the older you are.
Far easier to draw meaningful conclusions from a source such as that.
