“Our hospital has never, ever, ever seen anything like this,” one doctor said.
Overfilled waiting rooms packed with people who are contagious. Patients waiting six hours to be seen. Others on stretchers waiting 50 to 60 hours for a bed. Doctors desperately trying to get more ventilators. That is what it’s like to be on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic at a public hospital in New York City, Dr. Rikki Lane, an emergency room doctor at the Elmhurst Hospital Center in Queens, said.
With 30% of hospitalised cases requiring critical care, we obtain an overall mean duration of hospitalisation of 10.4 days, slightly shorter than the duration from hospital admission to discharge observed for COVID-19 cases internationally13 (who will have remained in hospital longer to ensure negative tests at discharge) but in line with estimates for general pneumonia admissions14.

As of this post, there are 266 cases in the greater Houston area, of which 28 are hospitalized. That yields a 10.5% rate of hospitalization for our area.
...there are more than 85 hospitals in the Houston area with more than 19,300 beds, including those in TMC.
About Houstom - Health
With a population of 6,997,384 people as of 2018 census estimates,
Greater Houston - Wikipedia
19,300 is approximately 10.5% of 183809.
183,809 is approximately 2.62% of 6,997,384.
If a little more than two and a half percent of the population of the Greater Houston area contracts the virus and approximately 10.5% of those require hospitalization as has been the trend thus far, the Greater Houston area will have had its healthcare system maxed out.
That is if we kick out everyone in a hospital bed now.

In the US, more than twice as many have died as have recovered; recovery takes weeks.
As ketsuko said way back, if this thing is going to kill you, it will do so faster than it will take you to recover; if you recover.

The R0 was just updated by the newest thread; meaning 100-1000x more people have had this, recovered, and not been added to the list of statistics....
Updated model shows virus to be less serious

It was worse in 2009 in 6 months there were FAR more hospitalized than this current “pandemic” and we survived it without collapsing the globe.
Two seasons ago was just as bad as current if not worse and we survived
Do people just listen to the news??? Or do they fact check and use their brain to investigate? Isn’t this sites motto “deny ignorance”

Most locations in the continental US are less than a month into their first case.
But go ahead and compare that to ENTIRE YEARS' worth of flu cases.
Maybe once we pass that number, next week you can switch to comparing to gun deaths or vehicle accidents.
Your confirmation bias... confirms your bias.
