So if a normal healthy person contracts this do they actually need hospitalization (apart from quarantine reasons)?
Like i wouldn’t normally go to the hospital when I get sick or get the flu (which has rarely happened to). I just lay in bed miserable for a few days, drink lots of liquid and chicken soup, and watch a tv series.
I would say you are better off self quarantined than in the hospital as long as you aren’t experiencing breathing difficulty, coughing up blood, etc. All you will do in the hospital is take up resources that could otherwise be used for someone more ill who needs it, potentially infect others (including health workers), and possibly be infected yourself with a different strain or something else entirely.
