The worst symptoms are death. I see your point about extending the metrics, and maybe I should consider more than just dying, but I think it's a strong factor in why this whole thing seems over blown in the way mandates and restrictions came.
For polio, it was about stopping death, paralysis is a death sentence in most places in the world.
