Good article that surveys the heterogeneity of data on the virus' severity. Death is of course the worst outcome, but hospitalization and emerging reports of long-term damage to the lungs or heart aren't great either.

Also a good NYT article on heterogeneity.
I consider the most solid evidence for high severity to be (a) spikes in all-cause mortalities in places like Italy, Spain, NYC and (b) case studies by physicians who've dealt with surges of virus patients.

Here's a theoretical framework for dealing with heterogeneity. If we could assemble a single large table of all cases, all the various statistics we are looking at could be conceptualized as roll ups or SQL queries on that large table.
