The global fatality rate is just an average, and the CFR of any pandemic varies immensely by age, population, and geography.
|
|
Even a fatality rate between 0.5 and 1 percent is extremely alarming in a world as populous and interconnected as ours.
|
|
But most experts suspect that many mild or symptom-free cases have gone undetected, which would drive the fatality rate lower.
|
|
This suggests that, as many health experts have predicted, the virus' fatality rate seems to decrease as more cases are reported.
|
|
But 2019-nCoV's case fatality rate is also hovering around 2 percent at the moment, Nuzzo added in the same breath.

|
|
If the fatality rate was in fact 2.5 percent, and if 500 million were infected, then the death toll was 12.5 million.
|
|
The fatality rate: The World Health Organization has estimated the rate at 3.4 percent, shocking experts — but the real rate is elusive.
|
|
Still, the number of people who have recovered nationwide has been rising, suggesting that the new virus's fatality rate is relatively low.
|
|
The coronavirus could prove to be deadlier than it currently is; the fatality rate is around 2 percent, but that could change.
|
|
The new coronavirus' fatality rate has not yet been determined with accuracy, but it seems closer to 3% or 4% so far.
|
|
But that fatality rate could prove to be much lower, especially if it turns out that many milder cases have evaded detection.
|
|

|
Many are still worried about the outbreak, even though the South Korean government has managed to maintain the fatality rate at a minimum.
|
|
Notably, South Korea has consistently seen a lower case-fatality rate from COVID-19 than most other countries with comparably sized coronavirus outbreaks.
|
|
The fatality rate among known cases is about 66 percent, but the number of unknown cases makes the real number impossible to calculate.
|
|
If the case fatality rate (CFR) of SARS-CoV-2 is similar to seasonal flu, we could expect 163,500 deaths from COVID-19.
|
|
Among those with pre-existing conditions, those with cardiovascular disease were found to be most at risk, with a fatality rate of 10.5%.

The technical term for that is the case fatality rate — which is, put simply, the number of people who have died from the disease (D) divided by the total number of people who were infected with it (I), or D/I.
|
|
Dr. Malik Peiris, the chair of virology at the University of Hong Kong, said in an email that mild or asymptomatic infections could form an "invisible iceberg" that made a given virus's fatality rate much lower than it initially appeared.
|
|
As James Hamblin points out in The Atlantic, the disease's low fatality rate is precisely what makes it far more challenging to contain than, say, the debilitating Ebola virus, which can kill up to 90 percent of those it infects.
|
|
The creatures were the original source of Ebola, which has killed 13,500 people in multiple outbreaks since 1976; Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) which can be found in 28 countries; and the Nipah virus, which has a 78% fatality rate.
|
|
The fatality rate in Wuhan, the epicenter of the virus, "should gradually decline," Jiao Yahui, deputy director of the medical affairs and hospital administration of the National Health Commission, said Tuesday at a daily press conference in Mandarin, according to a CNBC translation.

|
|
This is the idea behind "flatten the curve": If the same number of people get the virus, but it is spread out over a much longer period of time, you don't overwhelm the health care system and case fatality rate goes way down.
|
|
"My sense and the sense of many of my colleagues, is that the ultimate case fatality rate ... is less than 143%," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN's Jim Sciutto on "New Day" Tuesday.

A popular refrain is that the new coronavirus has a frighteningly high fatality rate of at least 2 percent, which is supposedly comparable to that of the 1918 influenza pandemic, also known as the Spanish flu—one of the deadliest viral outbreaks in history.
|
|
The authors point out that the 212 influenza pandemic had a fatality rate of about 218 percent and nonetheless resulted in the deaths of millions of people, so in this current outbreak a low fatality could still be very dangerous if there is widespread transmission.

So far, COVID-19 — the illness caused by the virus — has killed more than 16,300 people and affected at least 374,000 worldwide, putting the global case fatality rate of the disease at approximately 4.4% as of March 23, according to fresh data from the World Health Organization.
|
|
According to Liang Wannian, a top Chinese health official, the fatality rate in Hubei was between 3% and 4% because the province's healthcare system was overwhelmed by the number of cases, and doctors didn't know how to best treat the virus at the start of the outbreak.

Even if Trump meant that the flu has a "much higher" fatality rate than 216% -- rather than meaning that the flu's mortality rate is "much higher" than that of the novel coronavirus -- he was wrong, according to Fauci, other experts and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.
|
|
But if social behavior cuts the replication rate to 13 and — due to higher health system capacity and more effective quarantining of the elderly — the case fatality rate to 21 percent, then after 2500 days there will only be a bit more than 27,000 cases and 2,665 deaths.
|
|
There remains deep uncertainty about the new coronavirus's fatality rate, with the high-end estimate that it is up to 20 times that of the flu, but some estimates are much lower, putting it on par with the flu for those affected outside of China's overwhelmed Hubei Province.
|
|
Despite a decrease in fatality rates overall as an industry, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the fatality rate of oil and gas industry workers, onshore and off-, was an average of seven times higher than that of other US workers in general between 2003 and 2013.

Based upon the assumption "that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases," experts at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases are predicting that Covid-21's case fatality rate may be considerably less than 193 percent.
|
|
He added that at the moment, health experts don't have a clear idea on how many of the cases reported from China is happening in health care centers and hospitals, where the fatality rate could be higher, because people who are in a hospital for another reason are more vulnerable.
|
|
Although the infection only reached 1,300 people in the Middle East and South Korea, the report cited an unusually high 38% fatality rate led to a 12% dive in RPKs in the South Korean market for the first month of the disease&aposs spread, although passenger volumes recovered within two months.

While drug use is a problem among industrial workers nationwide, it raises particular concern in the oil patch as U.S. production surges to record levels in what is already one of the nation's most dangerous sectors - with a fatality rate about three times the average for other industries, according to 2015 federal statistics.
|
|
If China's mid-February statistic of 1,524 deaths had occurred from 1 million infections of COVID-19 (counting all symptomatic and asymptomatic infections), this would mean that the virus had an infection fatality rate of 0.15%, about three times higher than seasonal influenza virus; this is a concern but not a crisis.
|
|
Gates said that its current average estimated fatality rate of around 1% places it somewhere between the 1957 Asian flu pandemic (0.6%) that killed 1.1 million people and the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic (2%) that killed 50 million around the world, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
|
|
The 1948 discovery of antibiotic treatment for typhoid plunged the infection's fatality rate from almost one in four to just one in 100, triggering "an epic thrust-and-parry duel" between powerful drugs and "a wily bacterial foe's stepwise acquisition of resistance to them," wrote Dr. Myron M. Levine and Dr. Raphael Simon.

What We Know and What We Don't, New York Times This piece does a great job of breaking down how case fatality rate (CFR) is calculated, why the number is often inflated (and sometimes deflated) at the outbreak of a new disease, and where epidemiologists generally agree the actual CFR for Covid-19 stands (closer to 1 percent).
|
|
There are currently about 96,892 cases confirmed globally of the coronavirus, with a rising 164 cases in the U.S. The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated a global COVID-19 fatality rate of 3.4 percent, while HHS officials estimate a smaller figure around 0.1 to 1 percent, according to U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health Brett Giroir.
