If you go onto a ventilator there's about a 50% survival rate overall.
If your blood oxygen level drops there's a possibility of organ damage including a 25% rate of kidney failure, so people on ventilators often need blood scrubbers, and if they survive they'll be looking at going on a waiting list for transplant.
I haven't heard anything regarding long term effects for mild cases as yet.
Jesus, I thought America was bad in this regard because we only test people who are showing multiple symptoms.
Low testing rates seems to be a problem everywhere.
We've increased from ~5000 tests a day to ~14000 a day but we've still got a long way to go.
