Refer to my argument surrounding the infection time variable — up to four weeks of sickness have to be accounted for (with the fourth week for outliers) when judging the actively sick. Most people get infected and then wait an incubation period of up to two weeks. Then, sickness can take a large number of weeks afterwards to clear up.
But it doesn't always take that long.
Scotland's first corona patient was released after 8 days in hospital after testing negative twice, on two consecutive days. (In those early days people were isolated in hospital even if they didn't need any treatment.)
You're focusing too much on "
up to two weeks" and "
up to four weeks" when for the majority of cases it may very well be much less.
Citat:
Most of the people infected in March would still have been sick with the active virus during that month, because the incubation period is so long.
No it's not, the mean is five days which means it's even less for 50 %. You're focusing too much on outliers.

This isn’t a “get it and gone in two days” kind of sickness. This is a “get sick and wait up to two weeks to find out how bad it’ll be” kind of deal. It isn’t about “There’s a lot of asymptomatic cases” in this dataset, it’s arguing for recovered/actively infected.
Again, yes it may get worse, like for Boris, but for the majority it doesn't. You have to explain what you mean by recovered/actively infected. What do you know about that? You have no data at all about that!
