But there are a certain number of posters on this site that cannot differentiate between fatality rates and hospitalization rates and what increased hospitalization rates do to a regional healthcare system. All they hear is that fatality rates for 18-49 are extremely low (especially without comorbidities) and immediately think there is no problem.
The strain on hospitals is real. I just hope when it’s over we are honest with everyone what attributed to that strain. But I don’t see that being the case

And, as a society, that is our number one problem right now. If we have massive clusters that overwhelm regional systems that are close in proximity, you will see something similar that is happening in Spain and Italy with significantly increased mortality rates (probably never to 9-10% because of age distribution, but bad nonetheless).
