COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

i think the reason why so many people are running to the hospital is fear, i dont think the governments and media around the world are doing enough coverage of the recovery numbers as well as the 80% that have only mild cases. we only see and hear the negative and its instilling fear in a lot of people. and by no means am i saying this is not a big deal but it would put a lot of people at ease if they reinforced that most have little symptoms and can fight it at home and that most of the people that need hospitalization are recovering maybe things wouldn't get so clogged up.

I actually think there are more serious cases than the authorities are letting on. I don't think everyone with a mild case is trying to go. It's been stated time and time again by authorities that anyone with mild symptoms should stay home and not go in for testing. And fwiw, I believe the numbers here are far higher than being reported, here in the US and elsewhere. That's just my opinion based on discussions I've had with a few people in the industry.
