The latest discussions going around are that there appears to be a neurological aspect that causes/triggers apnea, hence the need for mechanical breathing assistance. Possibly the reason why people are also seeming to just be dropping in the streets.

This is where the medical system is most limited in how much equipment they have on hand.

We are missing a lot of cases because they had been limiting testing to individuals coming from infected areas and those who directly contact them, which is why we are now seeing it appear in the general community.

It's going to be bad. Not societal collapse bad, but simply that if you think of 100 people you know, a few of them (particularly those that are elderly, immune suppressed or sick) are likely to die if they get infected. I think the path forward has to be protecting the vulnerable, like strictly quarantining aged-care facilities, cancer wards, etc to protect the residents.
