Could somebody please point out...
... that when somebody who is three days into a COVID-19 infection says that they are feeling "fine", or "better" it has no useful value and should not be covered on news?
(Aside from a few cases of people who fall off a cliff immediately, this seems to be one of those diseases where it's the first couple of weeks, not days, which are critical.)

Rule of having to say something, I think.
People are incredibly resistant to thinking of COVID-19 as the epithelial tissue disease that it is; "contagious severe asthma complications" just doesn't have that ring to it, I guess.

Seems an entirely sensible response from this corner.
People keep acting like there won't be five and ten year mortality-from-morbidity stats, too. It's distressing.
