Coronavirus: Judge Yourself

Coronavirus Facts

I just listed the facts based on the public record. No judgement here.

As of today, we recorded 210,000 Coronavirus confirmed cases in the world with over 8,000 deaths since last December. Almost 83,000 people have recovered. The fatality rate is about 3.8%.

In the US, as of March 18, 9:00am, there are 7,512 confirmed cases with 115 deaths. That is fatality rate of 1.5%. Sp far only 106 people has recovered and released from the hospital.

Death rate by age is another concern. Here are the current numbers;

80+ years 14.8%
70-79 years 8.0%
60-69 years 3.6%
50-59 years 1.3%
40-49 years 0.4%
30-39 years 0.2%
20-29 years 0.2%
2—19 years 0.2%
0-9 years 0.0%

Compare to Influenza

This fatality rate is one of the highest among the virus infection. Average Influenza fatality rate is 0.1%. In the US, 19 million people got flu and 180,000 people had to be hospitalized in 2019. Out of that 10,000 people died. That is a fatality rate of 0.05%.

No opinion here. I just listed the numbers I found on the net. What do you think. about Coronavirus based on those facts. (Unless those facts I listed are not correct.)
