At least 80% of people with COVID-19 will be able to rest and recover at home. A smaller subset will need to receive care in the hospital, and an even smaller subset will have critical illness and receive treatment in the ICU. Even though only a small percentage of those infected will need hospitalization, we have to remember that this virus infects a large number of people and could easily overwhelm our healthcare system in terms of the number of available hospital rooms and ventilators and the supply of personal protective equipment for healthcare workers.
