I had this exact conversation with my husband! 45% of people admitted to the hospital with a resolved outcome. NOT 45% of the infected.I am as concerned for my health and my parents as much as anyone but the quotes of 45% mortality is wildly off the mark and just feed into the anxiety.

It is possible that I am misinterpreting the numbers. It looks like worldwide the mortality rate is at 7% of people hospitalized.

80% of cases are mild, with about 2% of reported cases being fatal.
