This study suggests about 0.5% of unvaccinated population requires hospitalization.

Obviously just one study, but across about six million people, seems a decent back of the envelope guess.

So far about 2% of the US population had already been hospitalized with COVID-19 as of May 2021. The total is even higher now.

6.2 million, as cited in that article, would be about 1.8% of the US population.

Right, sorry I copied the wrong number. Edited the comment above.

Yeah, and our hospitals are not prepared to have 0.5% of the population hospitalized with covid.
