The testing is mainly for implementing restrictions in hot spots to stop the virus from disabling or killing a large portion of the population. That would hurt the economy.

I don’t disagree. I just take issue with what I feel is people being mislead into thinking that 19% of people who have it or get it will be hospitalized. To my knowledge, it is 19% of the people whose conditions were severe enough to warrant the test.

We’re concerned enough without misleading statistics.
