Hospitals. If the hospitals get over run like in Italy, 1% goes to 2% or more. Remember roughly 10% of the population will need hospitalization and ~40% are 20-50. We're in very short supply of all kinds of vital hospital items.

That is true. But not overwhelming the hospitals means we spend 20-30 years in isolation. That's not realistic. The time element for our population size is the problem I can't find a way around.
