Then you have no way of knowing what percent are staying home and getting over it without confirmation by testing. If ninety percent aren't going to the hospitals, then that represents a great number of people who may not be getting tested and confirmed.
At least there's a retreat to a "may not be" here. But do you really think that the only people tested are ones already hospitalized for the disease?
If so, wouldn't the stats be that 100% of patients need hospitalization instead of the 10-20% numbers shown in the literature?
I get that there are still lots of unknowns. But fudging a bunch of numbers to add a 100x multiplier for no reason seems a bit suspect.
