Table 2. Estimated infected population sizes and infection rates as a function of hospital population using Eqs.

Hospital & Infected Populations
Hospital population Infected population Daily infected Observable population
10 1,053 70 807
20 2,106 140 1,615
50 5,265 351 4,036
100 10,530 702 8,073
250 26,324 1,755 20,182
500 52,649 3,501 40,364

6,000 631,784 42,119 484,367

(S32)—(S38). Note the linear proportionality between the numbers; e.g., 10 times higher hospital population yields 10 times higher infected populations and infection rates. See text for details.
