I added severity (Q96278582) severity (of illness or symptom), with qualifiers for mild, mild (Q96278776) moderate, etc. But should any of these have been properties? I can't follow the description of the difference. I want to be able to say things like:

  • spinal cord injury - has symptom - paralysis - moderate, paralysis - severe (or just - not - mild).
  • codeine - used to treat condition - pain - severity - moderate

I am not sure if I also need to add extra statements to the disease / drug / severity / moderate qualifier etc to link these up. JS (talk) 15:01, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
