  Thanks but no thanks for an uncited number. In this study, about 9% of non-elective geriatric patients admitted to a hospital die. https://academic.oup.com/ageing/article/34/5/467/40349 https://academic.oup.com/ageing/article/34/5/467/40349 In this study, it was closer to 15%. http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S1807-59322009000700002&script=sci_arttext http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S1807-59322009000700002&... Now, if they only covid19 test people sick enough to be hospitalized, and if most of the deaths are over 70, shouldn't there be a comparison in the death rates to those patients testing negative?

    Not all patients who enter a hospital are admitted for 3+ days.

      Okay, so that means we need to ask what percent of flu patients admitted to a hospital are out in less than 3 days. Probably not most of them?
