The catch is that the current South Korea “fatality rate” (simplified...only 333 of 7869 case have been resolved/recovered) is 0.84% which sounds pretty low but is 6 times higher than a bad flu year in the U.S.. The most important # is the “serious/critical” % of total cases (cases requiring intubation and a ventilator)...that is running about 10% in S. Korea.
“simplified...only 333 of 7869 case have been resolved/recovered”
The recovering time is two to three weeks depending on level of infection.
