So oaks we move down from the original WHO world "assessment of 3.4% which NEVER included asymptomatics whereas the flu death rate of 0.! % included 36 million people who they estimate got the flu in the USA but never reported it.
Now oaks let's be honest here. Nobody apart from Redrooi and sharkvirus could be that stupid ( am i missing anybody who deserves more credit?)
Then that clown Dr Fauci drops his estimate from a USA death count of 1.7 million to 1 to 2 hundred thousand.
Sorry i got a feeling that will be proved wrong yet again and perhaps very significantly. We shall see.
Now we have this. Note how CNN tries to prolong the panic as much as possible.
A research Group at Oxford are saying that millions in Britain had had the virus and
could go back to work.
Apparently about 80% are asymptomatic.
Dr Moz any ideas about what the death rate will be if all infected persons are included
The other issue is how many will be infected and what will something like hydroxychloroquine/azithromycin affect things etc.
(CNN) — How many people die after being infected with the novel coronavirus?
Fewer than previously calculated, according to a study released Monday, but still
more than die from the flu.
The research, published in the medical journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases,
estimated that about 0.66% of those infected with the virus will die.
That coronavirus death rate, which is lower than earlier estimates, takes into
account potentially milder cases that often go undiagnosed — but it’s still
far higher than the 0.1% of people who are killed by the flu.
When undetected infections aren’t taken into account, the Lancet study
found that the coronavirus death rate was 1.38%, which is more consistent
with earlier reports.
Early in March, for example, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the US National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that “if you just do the math,
the math is about 2%.”
But he emphasized that the number could go down, saying that “as a group
it’s going to depend completely on what the factor of asymptomatic cases are.”
That’s because death rates typically only consider reported coronavirus cases,
which tend to be more severe, and thus brought to the attention of health care
workers. Asymptomatic cases — or mild cases — may not always be counted.
In this study, researchers tried to estimate the true “infection fatality rate.” In
other words, out of everybody infected — not just those sick enough to get
tested — how many people will die?
To find out, researchers looked at how widespread infections were among
people repatriated to their home countries on flights from Wuhan, China.
According to the study, these people received PCR tests — a type of test that
would be able to identify how many of those travelers were shedding the virus,
even if they didn’t show symptoms.
Researchers combined that data on “infection prevalence” with public
information on reported cases and deaths, estimating the overall death rate to
be about two-thirds of 1%.
