> Something like 50% of the people in intensive care for COVID still die.

I don’t think this is too far from the survival rate of those admitted to intensive care in general.

But I think the point is that COVID really increases your chances of being admitted there in the first place.

So far I know 4 that have contracted COVID and all explained it felt like a bad flu but no where near enough to go to the hospital. But mileage will vary here for sure.

ICU survival rate is highly dependent on the cause, diagnosis, and/or disease that the patient is admitted for. It can range from 70-10%.
