What is the overall infection prognosis for the US? For Germany it is expected that 60 to 70% of the population will get Covid-19. Assuming 65% for the US, that would mean 214M infected, say over 2 years (and assuming linearity, which is naive) and each critical case needing care for a month, we are talking about nearly 18M critical cases per month. So yes, a huge amount of people.
Most estimates of the ratio of asymptomatic/minor-symptoms people are >=80%.
