Let me very clear to this piece (actually ‘peace’ !) of information, I won’t write this article to create panic but it creates relief to hear from the official china reports of no new COVID-19 cases.The study also claims that death toll from COVID-19 is far lower than initially thought.
By the starting of March, the World Health Organization (WHO) put the mortality rate of the novel coronavirus at around 3.4 percent of confirmed cases. The number is also well below the death rate for Wuhan based on simply dividing the number of deaths by cases.
In the China CDC publication weekly, researchers reported around 2.3% of death rate from COVID-19 to be in mainland China whereas New England Journal of Medicine published around 1.4%.of the overall death rate to study about 1,100 hospitalized patients in China. Nature Medicine published that a 1.4 percent likelihood of dying among corona virus infected people with the in Wuhan, far lower than some of the previous estimates.
The New York Times reported that the typically around 0.1% death rate is in the U.S. occured from seasonal flu. For many the death rate for COVID-19 is vague, but many researcher agrees it will be higher that of the seasonal flu.
At our end, it’s always good to take protection, cause, statistics won’t help you at all!
