As of this morning, the worldwide death rate is 6.149%. The US death rate is 3.888%. This is a LOT higher than the seasonal influenza death rate. It’s even higher than the 1917-1919 H1N1 influenza pandemic death rate.
Don’t take this lightly. If we stop the efforts to control the spread, millions will die.
The 3.88 is based on those who were in the hospital. Of those who go to the hospital I believe more die from the flu. Over 6%.
It is based on the total number of confirmed cases. If you only look at the death rate of those who are hospitalized, it is much higher.
