Right so, if 20% need icu, and 61% of the ones who are in ICU don’t make it. What does that look like, that’s a pretty high CFR imo.

I think there is little accurate, published data on the actual percentage of infections needing ICU level care. I suspect that there may be many infections with minor symptoms that mimic those of colds and other upper respiratory infections. Some patients have tested positive and have not reported any significant symptoms. So the percentage of cases with serious symptoms may be uncertain at this time.

The reports from clinicians in China indicate the situation with the serious cases, and their data is not reassuring. The load on the hospitals is intense, and long lasting.

This fits with medical projections from last week.
82% cases are mild, yet spreading the virus
18% require ICU, of which, 95% fatal

...mortality 12-17%
