> What I am seeing in Delhi is people from all walks of life without any comorbidites succumbing to the disease - peoples in 30s, 40s, and even 20s.

Roughly 10% of people need hospitalization when infected with COVID, and when hospitals are full, some of those people are going to die when they wouldn't have had they received care.



I think the 10% ratio against all infections will turn out to be a significant overestimate.


It's off, but maybe not as much as I'd have guessed.

CDC estimates for the USA is 4.9%.
