These calculations assume that no one else infected dies. Seems overly optimistic, especially given that ~1200 patients are in serious or critical condition.

I try to keep that in mind, but I also keep in mind that many people do not report to the hospital when sick.

The hospital is where you go when you are dying for most people. I don't think it's a stretch to say that most dying people will be in the hospital.
