Unnecessary fear setting. Not even close to all of us will need to go to the hospital at all.
Example, last time I looked at the stats, 20-40 had 0.2-0.4% chance of being critically ill from covid19.

- DeonPenny 7y agoMore test would lower that number not increase it. They are testing people who go into the ICU testing at this point would be for people not in the ICU dropping that number like a rock
