    If you say to me Billy that the rates of hospitalization is at 5% in Jan 2021.
    Its 5% in march
    Its 5% in june
    Its 5% in September.
    Whats that saying?
    its that if you catch the virus , there is 5% chance you will end up in hospital.
    Then its upto the hospital and your immune system to make it out alive.
    The % of patients once hospitalised that end up in ICU have come down a little but not much ,still tracking around that 1 in 5 or 1 in 6.

    And ICU fatalities are now 20% . They started at 25% but now are closer to 20%.

    Putting all that above into practice.
    You would need around 4 million positive cases to have 5000 fatalities.
    That's the reality.
    That's regardless of being in lockdown or not being in lockdown.
