The admit or move to ICU rate is around 2% here in Ohio. So if you assume those who are most risk to die go to ICU first, there is no evidence the death rate will increase, in fact the more people who are diagnosed and live is greatly reducing the death rate.

Keep in mind WHO and experts said this virus would kill 1.2 million Americans alone. They were very wrong, a good being wrong.

FYI, just found this from CDC update:
The government agency added a new part to its report, an "Infection Fatality Ratio," which "takes into account both symptomatic and asymptomatic cases and may therefore be a more directly measurable parameter for disease severity for COVID-19." The new metric states that 0.65 percent of those with COVID-19 are estimated to die.


If accurate, the death rate is not much higher than the flu.

ICUs in Houston are getting overwhelmed again according to this article:

This is not close to under control in the US and it is rather disheartening. I think too many people have gone back to forgetting the basic rules: Social distance, wash hands, don't touch face... Other news took over the headlines during the last month or so. And with Covid-19 not being the main headline I think many people have let their guard down as far as following recommended guidelines.

I know I have noticed it over the last few weeks. People in the grocery store not practicing social distancing as much and less people wearing masks.
