When you are primarily testing those admitted your serious percentage is skewed.

yes there are 85% of people walking around with it ,

the issue is

even with fraction of testing

there are not enough icu units on the planet earth

not to mention all the infrastructure to keep it going

the piping and valves etc etc

maybe chicoms will send us a few slightly used

CNBC is reporting 19% of total cases identified (1,700 in NY state, low #, lack of gen. pop. testing) are being hospitalized...at this point you aren’t being hospitalized unless your are “serious” or worse. 19% is very high compared to other areas/countries...I have seen numbers like “8% serious/hospitalized” on average in other countries.

YES! Thank you. If the only people we are testing are those sick enough to REPORT for testing (and the occasional NBA player) the percentage is going to be severely skewed. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a crisis. Only that these percentages are extremely suspect if not utterly incorrect.

They’re telling people with mild or no symptoms specifically NOT to test. How are they included in the 19%?
