I believe that even in young people, 16-20% will need hospital admission/intervention.

That's a lot of people, and how many of those can we expect to have health insurance?

Forget insurance -- if there is no hospital capacity because the system is flooded it doesn't matter if they have it or not. I've read for those who require hospitalization it's a 50% fatality rate. For those who need hospitalization but can't get it, it's closer to 100%.

I don't think it's that much, I think that it'd be more in the order of 15% of the people who require hospitalization that actually perish.

Well, until you run out of ventilators, that is...

You’re conflating hospitalization with the ICU. Many people end up hospitalized without needing a ventilator.
