This table paints a weird picture. A 7x overwhelming of ICU beds in India would just saturate the US. This thing is going to hit the developing world brutally. What’s the raw mortality rate (ie with no access to healthcare)?

Annually about 57m people die, or about 0.76%. If the total fatalities of Covid19 end up around 1% (possible given weak infrastructure in developing world), and assuming significant overlap with people who might have died anyway, this graph could see a spike to 100m.pic.twitter.com/vOWCAtutvj

The developing world has a few things going for it: younger population, warmer climate (which may or may not help), and lower rate of internal population movements. Also generally earlier responses. But I’m not optimistic.

I’m going to bet around 0.5-1% marginal uptick for India when this eventually gets going. ~5m-10m. People are being way too rosy in their projections.

hmm likely... tho haven't most hospitals (around the world too) gotten past that point and have had to convert regular beds to ICU beds? at which point it's total beds that is the important number i'd guess?

Have heard of a lot of medical tourism in Turkey. Maybe that's what drives their number?

FWIW when I was there for 2 weeks I saw at least 50 people in public with bandages post hair transplant or nose job. Before that, never even one.

Germany is missing from that list too. It should be in the top 5.
