“Do you know how this data on the Chinese Flu compares to the “regular flu”? “
CCP-19 has roughly the same shape, larger amplitude. If you are mathematically inclined, they are both exponentials, CCP-19 has a smaller coefficient and a bigger exponent when adjusted for relative lethality. Doesn’t kill as many of the young but does kill more of the old. Relative lethality of CCP-19 is on the order of 20x as many on a per case basis.
Good explanation; thank you. How does this comport with the overall/non-age specific fatality rate between the two viruses? Do we have enough data for a confident comparison/contrast?
