I remain convinced that the current mortality rates are being suppressed by the tendency of first presenters to receive highest quality care. When the ventilators are all occupied, that mortality rate of 4% or 6% will climb.

I agree, and it seems that Hong Kong will soon be to that point. The length of hospitalization appears to average about three weeks, as the total number of patients 21 days ago (203) exceeds the combined total of the dead and the released (201). If the disease continues to spread at its present rate, the hospitals will be overwhelmed.

All Hong Kong can do is let it take its course and hope it will eventually burn out.
