Let’s say only 20% of the population is infected.
Let’s say only 10% of those need hospitalisation, 5% need ER.
In my 15,000 people home town, that’s 300 in hospital, 150 in ICU.
Hospital has 145 beds, 35 in ER -7 for coronavirus
”It’s not just about Covid-19 patients -it’s about all the other patients”
But hey, take it on the chin, herd immunity -let it spread to stop it.

Using the lowest estimates: That's 600k deaths (with a 1% death rate).
Italy struggling showed overwhelmed healthcare system can multiply that rate by almost 7.
Acting "may" be advised.
But think about it
5.4 million people with ashtma
2,273,200 people who had previously been diagnosed with cancer
Chronic smoking-related lung disease: 1 million people
All the other disease
And this 👇
(That's 20 million people at risk -just those I mentioned)
(30% of the country)
Can hospitalisation/ICU/death rate be higher than recorded rates if nothing is done to contain the disease?
We only have the data of countries trying to keep 🦠 from spreading
