The Who briefing today, available online, I just watched the q&a, a couple of things that struck me: Tedros kept repeating about sign of "moral decay" focusing on the relative safety of the virus for healthy individuals and not worrying about the elderly and frail.
Clarifying question regarding the "mild/moderate" versions of the disease for the 80%, may also include mild pneumonia (which we knew by the Chinese data, but people often gloss this over). Clarifying questions regarding the "recovery" of the severe cases, they defined recovery as not having the virus anymore, so the up to six weeks recovery for the hospitalized does not necessarily mean full clinical recovery, which can take months.

There is a 5:30pm press briefing today by the US administration.
