If you are age 20-40 and are trying to decide if you should go to that party or hang out with your friends.... Imagine a bowl of 1000 M&Ms which will all give you COVID19. You reach in to grab a few.... what can you expect? 1/8
700 of the M&Ms will give you fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath. Lots of patients describe it as having "lungs on fire." 2/8
440 of the M&Ms will give you some pretty awful muscle cramps and aches. 3/8
120 of the M&Ms will make you lose you sense of smell and taste. It usually comes back, but not always. 4/8
3 or 4 of them will put you in the hospital (that goes up to around 20 M&Ms if you have an underlying medical condition) 5/8
1 of them will put you in the ICU unless you have an underlying medical condition. In that case, 5 of them will put you in the ICU. 6/8
It's unlike you'll die unless you have an underlying medical condition, in which case 3 of the M&Ms will kill you. If you carry this home to your 70 year old grandparent with an underlying medical condition, they have a 20% chance of dying (the equivalent of 200 M&Ms for you).7/8
Still want to reach in and have some M&Ms?????
