the standard stat going around is 80% out of hospital ("mild"), 20% in hospital, 5 % ICU, 2% dead. So somewhere between 5-20% seems likely (working under the assumption that the hospital only helps, which is shaky given nosocomial infections etc)

the only available 'therapy' for the most severe cases is intubation (or if available, ECMO). 50% of these patients still die. So, VERY crude/naive = 2x. It is less clear how many non severe, but critical patients (who are only on oxygen) would die without access to oxy.

Looking at the difference in deaths each month compared to average of previous few years in countries without robust health systems (Eg Jordan, Ecuador) might provide a way to calculate estimate
