If you catch COVID what are the chances you will end up in hospital? Better than they were and getting even better since cases started rising in August.

Same graph with weekly data

In March and April tests were limited and sick people more likely to get a diagnosis. By May - July testing was much more freely available. Since then testing has increased leading to detection of numerous asymptomatic and false positive & #39;cases& #39;.

If you combine this data with the hospital fatality rate which feel from 6% to 1.5% from March to June then you& #39;re left with a not very fatal illness. CFR = 0.06% to 0.08%.
