To the extent we were limiting testing before and are now not limited, we may have to adjust the expected percentage of hospitalizations down as we are testing people that wouldn't have been tested before, but that's an adjustment that can be ball parked reasonably well. Or we can just adjust it going forward based on actual experience if we want to be more conservative.
Again, you can't and won't get that true number (or reasonable ballpark figure) ever because of the wide range of asymptomatic and heavily symptomatic.

Healthcare workers are amazing and doing a great job. Unfortunately, the administrators are doing an awful job. That includes Fauci and his self righteous speeches. Get something done Fauci..... do your job. Quit telling people it's okay to lose your job because you don't want to expedite a vaccine. It's ridiculous how he can get on every media platform and tell us what we're doing wrong and how many people are going to die. The guy may be a decent doctor, but he can't produce results. He keeps telling us what we're doing wrong, but he won't tell us how to properly fix the issue. Staying home forever isn't going to fix the issue because some people won't have a home to stay at. A vaccine needs to be his top priority..... not bad talking with the media.

Expedite a vaccine???? What does that even mean? Name the last vaccine that was expedited.

I'm not defending Fauci because like every other human on earth. He has no actual clue about any of this. Everyone is guessing and still collecting data. EVERYBODY. Unfortunately, there still isn't enough for anyone to do anything with the data.
