"About 19 out of 20 patients with coronavirus recover without being admitted to hospital.
Of those who are admitted, most also recover but some may need oxygen or mechanical ventilation."
Get said along side a published ~10% death rate. There have 300,000 cases in the UK and 40,000 deaths.
The number of cases in the UK is likely to be underestimated by a factor of 10 because it only takes into account cases confirmed by testing, and not everyone is tested, especially not mild/asymptomatic cases. This is consistent with several other studies in various places.
