Here in Belgium the number of confirmed cases was at 1243 yesterday, and the number of Corona patients in hospital was 361..
That's real life numbers for you. More than 25%...
Also, don't assume that it's only the elderly who struggle with this virus. There are 30-year-olds with no medical history in intensive care.

It is not. Cause the majority of the people with Coronavirus are “stealth” cases.

What's crazy is when I hear "experts" say, to get the hospital numbers up, we need more Covid-19 testing.
Do you or I need a test to determine if we are sick enough to go to the hospital???
Maybe those pin-heads with advance degrees really believe what they're saying? I'd rather believe that, than to think they're just treating the audiences as dumb sheep, who believe whatever lie they're peddling that day.
Emergency workers here are saying that some patients WALK in on their own, thinking they are well on time for quick treatment and release, but when de doctors see the scans of their lungs, it looks like mayhem, like they've never seen before.

Please quote and cite actual person / source? Compared to pneumonia?
Or, you know. Doom by innuendo?

Maybe so, but we don't have reliable numbers for those.

That's his point, it went way over your head. If you're going to dismiss the impact of under-reporting and skewed numbers as a result of that under-reporting, then we can dismiss skewed numbers reflecting what is effectively an artificial, inaccurate high number.
If people are unwilling to rationally consider THAT side of the fence, the mods need to "give them a few weeks' time out" to simmer TF down and learn to look at all numbers angles before freaking. Not just the deliberately scary skewed numbers we're being spoon-fed.

That being said how do you justify the shutdowns, Vegas ffs when does it shut down, international travel?...countries calling back their citizens...
I'm not sure the numbers even matter at this point, commerce is shutting down ...what's next rioting and wars...

How many New York state residents need to contract Covid-19, to fill the 37,000 ICU beds that Governor Andrew Cuomo says he needs?
Cuomo Wants US Army to Build Hospitals in New York ASAP: www.forbes.com...
Also, a doctor who's regularly on CNN, says it's likely that the available 200,000 ICU beds America has available nationwide, won't be enough when the same Covid-19 "wave" that's putting huge numbers of Italian citizens in Italy's hospitals, washes over America in the next 14 days.
How many people in America would need to contract CoronaVirus-19, in order to fill 200,000 ICU beds, assuming 99.8% of all cases are "mild"?
Note: The stats of 99.5% - 99.8% of U.S. Covid-19 cases being MILD enough to not require hospitalization, has stayed constant for many weeks.

The UK enacted a wartime fund I believe recently, that's a fairly blunt description of where were at...
Had you been paying attention to what's going on peoples lungs are being decimated with this virus.
You still seen to be in the denial stage, you really think international travel is being halted because of the flu, Vegas shutting down for the flu.
You're in for awakening once this virus and the hell it brings finds its way to you.
Especially the death rates, as some of you know the CDC director admitted to congress that a lot of covid deaths this year have been labeled the flu,

There is still a calculation to arrive at how many must contract Covid-19 to fill X number of ICU beds, based on a .02% of the population contracting the disease to be sick enough to require hospitalization. What is the formula?

You have time to spread fear through implications and innuendo? But not cite and quote actual facts? What are your motives then?
