Rough median might be 500,000 hospitalizations for the whole year in the entire U.S. That's roughly 40,000 per month in all 50 states combined. Pence said yesterday 1 out of 1000 in New York City are infected. New York has 8 million people. That's 800,000 infected. If 10% need hospitalization that's 80,000 people in just New York City who may require hospitalization or they'll die - all in the same month. Now compare that to the 40,000 per month hospitalized by the flu in the entire U.S. This is why Trump is building four 2000-bed hospitals in New York, and sending a Navy hospital ship to New York. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html permalink save report block reply ▲ 10 ▼ – deleted 10 points 1 year ago +11 / -1 ▲ 2 ▼ – Bonfire 2 points 1 year ago +2 / -0 I think it’s too early to call either way—you certainly can’t extrapolate from Chinese data as though it’s trustworthy.
