There is no covid storm coming, and dare I say, there never was anything approaching a storm in this entire event. Did people get sick? Yes. Did some die? Yes. Was it ever, or is it ever going to be a storm? No.
As someone once said here on FR, imagine a virus, so deadly, that you had to be tested to know you have it.
People without symptoms are not cases, and furthermore, cases DO NOT MATTER, DEATHS DO.

I'd give a nod to hospitalizations. That said, there's a big variance in level of "hospitalization" (day of bed rest to intubation and coma management)
