You are making assumptions that do not necessarily exist. Age and health before illness make a huge difference. Having a severe form even pneumonia does not guarantee hospitalization
Quit being dramatic
Age or health does not matter. They will STILL go to the hospital and especially if they are older and in poor health. There's just no way to get around it. EVEN if only 5% are hospitalized and it spreads "like the flu" it will STILL overwhelm our hospital system.
