So, let's break this down by statistics:
Out of 30K, there will be 24K (80%) which have mild to no symptoms. Out of the remaining 6K
an unknown amount will need some sort of medical treatment.
That means a visit to a doctor's office, an ER, hospital stay, or ICU bed.
It wouldn't be all 6,000 people need an automatic hospital trip.
