So how many people have actually recovered versus deaths? Everybody is focusing on scaring people but from I have read not everyone dies from this. We need to look at the good news not just the bad news.
My question is how many who get exposed ever show symptoms?
About 56% of the confirmed cases have recovered. Leaving out the notable bungles where people were let loose before they had actually recovered and then relapsed, taking a few more along for the ride.
About 40% of the cases are still unresolved.
So, using the ‘but flu’ logic that is often applied here to minimize the danger, it looks like you have a solid 56% chance of surviving - recoveries divided by confirmed cases.
Within the USA, about 1.4% of the cases have recovered and about 95% of the cases are still unresolved, so you have a glorious 1.4% chance of surviving!
(That’s not how these calculations are actually performed, but I am illustrating a point. The actual basic stats are accurate, just not the conclusions. But that’s how the complacents are arguing this.)
I’be been watching this English doc who seems to be very on top of his stuff; this may be important and one possible reason why many resist this disease better than others do:
