Mortality rate without a ventilator is probably what you see in Italy and shortly the UK.
Yes you want to get sick, but the old fashion way. The way I think of it - if we get sick with healthcare services or without.
With healthcare services intact, I likely won’t know anyone who does from covid-19 (1/200, 50% infection rate, 1% fatality).
Without healthcare services I’m likely to know at least one person who’s died. (1/20, 50% infection rate, 10% fatality).
The more we flatten the smaller the denominator.
