re: % of positives in the hospital

There is a CDC report that's a few days old now which found a 12% hospitalization rate for cases in the US as of March 16.
Even if the hospitalization rate turns out to be one percent, that's enough to absolutely swamp hospitals once you start talking about tens or hundreds of thousands of people contracting the virus.

Based on what? 1% of 100,000 is 1,000. Pretty sure the US could handle an influx of 1,000 patients without being swamped.
