“Some type of medical intervention...”
That does not mean hospitalization. It means you may have to go to a doc for some drugs to help knock down the bronchitis or pneumonia
The hysteria is over blown
I accounted for that. I used a very low 10% figure of hospitalization with a very low spread rate. But even if it's only 5% then it still breaks the healthcare system.
The possibility of 10 to 20% of the working population being at home JUST sick of the flu for 3 to 4 weeks is very serious economically.
