U.S. tops ‘unfathomable’ milestone of 100,000 Covid hospitalizations: ‘We’re all on edge’
Published Wed, Dec 2 20207:15 PM ESTUpdated 9 Min Ago

• More than 100,000 people are currently in hospitals across the U.S. sick with Covid-19, as the pandemic pushes doctors, nurses and other health workers to their limits.
• Dr. Janis Orlowski, chief health care officer at the Association of American Medical Colleges, said she doesn’t recall any disease sickening so many Americans all at once ever before.
• “We’re running out of beds, and we’re also going to run out of staff,” said Dr. Megan Ranney, an emergency physician and director of the Brown-Lifespan Center for Digital Health.

USA has a population of 331 MILLION so 100.000 is a tiny proportion of the overall population ie 0.03% of the population.

When you look at the numbers it is important to put the figures in perspective.

As for hospitals being stretched it is no different from the flu so there is no need for undue worry. Refer to this link for a flu pandemic way back in 2015. Lots of children died then. Many more compared to Covid.
