I would caution against reading too much into the hospitalization and case fatality rates, because we don't know the infection rate, without which those numbers are close to meaningless. It is reckless to say we have a 3% CFR without knowing the IFR (infection fatality rate). The flu has been around long enough, and testing for it is routine enough, that we pretty much can make a really good guess about the CFR/IFR. Since we're sailing in uncharted waters wrt covid, I think we're in danger of making some wildly inaccurate speculations (like the WHO's reckless and irresponsible pronouncement about a 3.4% CFR).

I despise the president as much as the next guy, but I hope our collective hate for him isn't going to make us knee-jerk react against anything he suggests (even the proverbial blind squirrel can find a nut from time to time). I think reopening for business is very premature, but I also think that he's correct about his statement that if it were up to "the doctors" (probably meaning Fauci) we'd be closed for business for a year. We've got to balance somehow. I don't know enough to know what the right balance is, but I do know that a major depression is going to cause way more deaths and diseases to the most innocent among us (poor children) than covid ever could. We have enough history behind us to be very certain of that.
