Remember the US is short on tests, so I would assume a greater than 20% hospitalization rate because only the most severe cases are being reported.

- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoMild cases aren't being reported either because none of them qualify for testing and couldn't get one anyway due to low availability.
- vonmoltke 7y agoAccording to data from the COVID Tracking project, the hospitalization rate nationwide is a bit under 10%[1], with NY at about 13%[2]. No doubt they are missing some cases, since theirs is an exercise in piecing together multiple, manually-curated sources. It seems to be a good ballpark estimate, though.
