If we can somehow even get that 10% down to just 1% that's about 700K patients. There are 300K total hospital beds in America at this moment. The death rate is holding at 3 - 3.4% worldwide. At 75 million Americans, that's 2.15 million dead. At 150 million, that's 5.1 million dead. Germany announced today that they expect 70%+ of their population to get sick. In America, that would be 260 million with a death rate of 3.4 = 8.8 million dead and the need for 2.6 million hospitals beds. Again, there's 300K of those. The Mariner's won't be playing because SafeCo will be a triage center + Century Link + Key Arena + Tacoma Dome.

Slept tight,
