They mean mild symptoms.
The study in Wuhan indicated blood type A is a factor in having more severe symptoms. |

I don’t like their use of ‘Coronavirus’. They’re quite common but this one is ‘19 and harsher.
But why say someone has tested positive for Coronavirus when that’s a general group of viruses? Lazy journalism? There’s something called viral load. It’s explained here. https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-questions-about-covid-19-and-viral-load/ “In general with respiratory viruses, the outcome of infection – whether you get severely ill or only get a mild cold – can sometimes be determined by how much virus actually got into your body and started the infection off. It’s all about the size of the armies on each side of the battle, a very large virus army is difficult for our immune systems army to fight off. |

SARS-CoV 2 isn't really as catchy as 'coronavirus'. And a lot of people would get it confused with SARS etc. It's a bit lazy, but as long as virtually all of the public can understand the name, that's the main thing.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that usually cause mild to moderate upper-respiratory tract illnesses, like the common cold, in people. However, three times in the 21st century coronavirus outbreaks have emerged from animal reservoirs to cause severe disease and global transmission concerns.
There are hundreds of coronaviruses, most of which circulate among animals including pigs, camels, bats and cats. https://www.niaid.nih.gov/diseases-conditions/coronaviruses |
