It could be that the experts are so often wrong.  I'm not saying that Trump is right, but it isn't too long ago that the experts, and the press quoting them were downplaying the effects of this disease, and now they're yelling from the rooftops that everything must be shut down.  Personally

I doubt that anything will keep the Republican faithful away from the polls. I’m fiercely independent and haven’t voted Republican very often, but I’ll be watching the Trump/Biden debates carefully. It’s hard to believe that the best the Democrats could come up with was a confused 78 year old.

A terminology problem is that “mild” is defined as not needing hospitalization. You can be incapacitated by fatigue, fever, and cough for a month, but your case is still “mild.” An epidemiologic problem is that not nearly enough people have been tested and followed to understand the spectrum
