To be entirely fair to the statistics presented here, it is suggesting that only 4% of people require hospitalization assuming 60% are in fact asymptomatic but positive tests.

True enough! The 4% would still overwhelm any country's health system. E.g. US has around 300,000 available hospital beds, and 4% of population is 13M, 43x higher.
