From what I can deduce using CDC data my chance of hospitalization is 0.5 to 2%. Assuming linear relationship of obesity in the population and assuming the same risk at the top of my cohort to the bottom.
- Izkata 5y agoMy point was more the last part: > Many adults (35%) say that at least half of infected people need hospitalization. This is why so many in low-risk groups have been so enthusiastic - misinformation that has them thinking it really is the Black Death.
- hvac 5y agoOr maybe people are just terrible at judging acute risks? This isn't unique to covid - ask them about flying on an airliner or living next to a nuclear power plant and you would get some equally comical numbers. At any rate risk of hospitalization/death isn't the complete picture since some of those young people are ostensibly doing it to protect the people around them.
