"Important numbers are how many of the infected have only mild or moderate symptoms and don't need to be hospitalized. If people got told every day that more than 90% of the infected are getting away easily, then more people would keep a cool head. But I guess it's easier to make people stay inside when you warp reality and instill a little fear."
The thing is.... ~20% are hospitalised because you cannot be sure, they wont require a ventilor.
Do that many actually need one? no.
You could tell everyone to just stay home, chances are good you wont even need it.
In denmark we currently have 529 patience at the hospital for Covid-19.
145 of which, require a ICU bed and a ventilor.
The "youngest" person in denmark to die to this thing was 50 years old (so far).
However there are people in their 30's that do get so sick form this, they require a ventilor.
Acting like "if your young, your in no danger at all" is wrong.
People in there 30's could potentially start dieing to it as well, if there wasnt ventilators (even if it would be rare).
Being young, and getting this, just means even if you are put on a ventilator (which very few would require),
you get better quick, and more often than older people.
^ which is also why you see some places (spain, italy) they choose to let old people die (give them pain meds)
and give the ventilator spots to younger people.
