It may have a low overall fatality rate, yet it seems to have a high rate of hospitalization in clinical cases.

  And it’s more contagious than the flu, so even if the fatality rate is identical, more people are at risk.

  > it seems to have a high rate of hospitalization in clinical cases. The raw hospitalization rate is inflated because both treatment and testing are mostly limited to very severe cases in places where there's a lot of confirmed cases (e.g. NYC.)

    Still, comparing it to influenza... we dont see this many severe cases typically.

      Its pretty obvious this is worse than the flu. I don't think anyone is really disputing that at this point.
