Steerforth ,if one does not know the number of infections how does one know the 80% .
Because it is reported ? |

Thats a good question. The "80%" is presumably of confirmed cases. So it's possible that the unconfirmed cases could bring that "severe case" percentage down, because the hospitalised cases are all tested as confirmed so the "untested positives" will never become severe cases. Should we take some positives from that on the prognoses?

Plenty of data about the percentage of those with a positive test that get light, severe or fatal outcomes but the key word is test. The vast majority of light cases are never tested. Those over 80 tested positive have an 80% chance of severe/fatal but how many of them were already ill?
