According to the World Health Organization,
1 in 7 cases require hospitalization
and
5% require intensive care with ventilators to survive.
When there are two patients and one ventilator, the one with the greatest survival chance should get the ventilator first.

SO explain this math...
595,953 total cases as of 3/27/20 at 8:27 PM..
So according to the above:
1 in 7 cases require hospitalization or 595,953 divided by 7 equals 85,136 hospitalized Covid-19 patients .
AND of the 85,136 hospitalized.... 5% require ventilators or 4,257 ventilators....hmmm....
Please some one explain because IF I use 5% of the 595,953 cases need ventilators... that is 29,798 ventilators world wide!
Something doesn't make sense here...
