I think the current percent of positives requiring hospitalization is over 50% but that’s a terrible thing to look at right now bc we are just getting the testing going for people that have milder symptoms. By the end of the week, it should be closer to 20-30%

The worldometer is showing that overall cases considered "mild" range from 95-95%.

The anecdotal stuff I have heard has been that 85%+ are simply being sent home. I'd like some solid info on this because I think it is important and puts this in the proper context. It can be easily answered with precise numbers.

No, it's a little over 10% overall.
