Don't be fooled by some of the comments on this forum, the author is obviously aware of the 0.6% fatality figure ...
and the fatality rate is 0.6% instead of 4%, you end up with 500k deaths in the US.
... but the higher fatality rate occurs when hospitals are full:
So why is the fatality rate close to 4%?
If 5% of your cases require intensive care and you can’t provide it, most of those people die. As simple as that.
Every child understands that if something like 1 out of 20 people need intensive care and the hospitals are full, too many people will die. Not sure why some people still think it's realistic to ride this out and rely on herd immunity.
