Your math is a little off based on the Utah health dept. They report 21,100 positives with 1396 ever hospitalized, which gives a 6.6% hospitalization rate. They also report 167 deaths for a mortality rate of 0.8%. Of those deaths, they do not break down if they died in a hospital or not, so it's hard to get a rate of deaths per hospitalization. If they were all in the hospital, the rate would be 12%, but of course it's much lower because many of those probably died in a nursing home.
Regardless, we have no idea how many positives there really are, so those rates are somewhat meaningless. What it does show though is Utah has a very low mortality rate regardless of what the real numbers are.
