"Cases do matter. Many people with apparently low level infections also suffer long Covid, even thorgh they were not hospitalised."

Ok, that is different to the example you gave which is why I responded to that. So if its not severe enough to require any medical care then its like anything else we dont bother the health service with?

So if we already manage with this situation (illness not enough to seek medical help) then they are not worth counting. For those that end up in hospital/dying that is what we need to be concerned about.

Which brings me back to my original point that there needs to be balanced consideration between shutting down the economy and locking everyone away for their own good and leaving everyone to get on with their lives regardless of risk and people with ordinary medical issues being cared for.
