Assuming the state sees around 2,000 new cases each day and around 15% are hospitalized, then, at that point, you’re at around 300 new hospitalizations each day. That is concerning what Indiana had with the delta variation.
Presently assuming you have omicron, that is possibly hitting 20,000 cases each day – which isn’t outlandish, Pollak said. Regardless of whether you have a 5 percent hospitalization rate, which is 33% the possibility, you have 1,000 individuals being hospitalized a day.
