The data doesn't show 20% need medical treatment. 1% need that. 19% are getting as sick as the flu at most. 80% literally couldn't tell if they were sick or not

- xref 7y agoI haven’t seen any numbers of confirmed infections that match a 1% hospitalization rate. Heck I haven’t even seen an ICU rate that low. Have a link?

There is some difference between countries in terms of reporting but typically "mild" indicates no hospitalization, "severe" requires hospitalization and "critical" indicates ICU. It's hard to estimate true hospitalization rate when you don't know the spread of the disease, and we don't have good data for that anywhere. But here is a repo with the data we do have: https://github.com/beoutbreakprepared/nCoV2019 https://github.com/beoutbreakprepared/nCoV2019
