I don't think this is right. 80% of people should get through this fine if they contract it, given numbers I read recently. The other 20% will have some level of big problems, and if too many of these happen in a given area, hospitals will be overwhelmed and more would die than otherwise.
Furthermore, from what I have read, there is no known long-term immunity to CoV, but maybe a 4-month window of some level of immunity.
- speby 7y agoNot exactly. Up to 20% of those tested thus far required hospitalization of some kind of another. This in no way means 20% of all infections will require hospitalization. But right now, we don't have great data, other than estimations, of how many people currently have been, or are, infected without being able to test everyone.
