If you don't get tested - the odds are you won't - the relief of recovery is quickly replaced with doubt, "was it really Covid-19?" And you must fearfully go on acting like it wasn't.
There is survivorship bias in the media reports. Mild cases don't get reported because it's bland, common, and everyday. The ones that cause death DO get reported because it's clickbait basically. This biases the population to overestimate the risk from this.
