From the above URL, among 41 people who went to the hospital:

  * All 41 patients had pneumonia with abnormal findings on chest CT

  * acute respiratory distress syndrome (12 [29%])

  * RNAaemia (six [15%])

  * acute cardiac injury (five [12%])

  * secondary infection (four [10%])

  * 13 (32%) patients were admitted to an ICU

  * six (15%) died
So among those that were able to get to a hospital 15% died.

Question is what percentage of people exposed get bad enough to want to go to the hospital?
