Hello. 30% is classed as severe and you are 'moderate' at 46%. Welcome to the site.

Hi & welcome. Your results show you're moderate in my opinion. They are only a number so don't worry about it.

Keep driving, gardening & enjoying your grandchildren.

Take care 😀

I agree that numbers are just numbers. I also think can have slight variations from previous years results.

However link I was just looking at states 30%-50% is classed as severe / stage 3. Below 30% is very severe / stage 4.

You will find people on here with far lower results who able to have a good quality of life. Some even working. What important is keeping excercise up as much as possible and trying to keep infections at a minimal.
