i’m sure quite a few people have it and numbers will escalate dramatically. A very small amount of those will be sick enough to hospitalize. No doubt it can be a serious or fatal illness but the hysteria right now is way over the top

The numbers in other countries with lots of cases is 15% hospitalization rate (of confirmed cases).

That would overwhelm the hospital system very quickly since many of these cases require labor and equipment intensive care.

That is why, for example, Seattle is buying property and trailers to expand their capacity.

Expect to see that elsewhere.

Most real experts believe this is one of the top three major challenges of the corona virus.

(The other two are economic deterioration and quarantine hardships on local communities.)
