Anthony Fauci in the New England Journal of medicine:
"This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%)" https://t.co/r41XuAjdDt pic.twitter.com/ZSke46PQbs— Rising serpent (@rising_serpent) March 27, 2020
From Anthony Fauci in the New England Journal of medicine:
"On the basis of a case definition requiring a diagnosis of pneumonia, the currently reported case fatality rate is approximately 2%" https://t.co/8naVRIv03B— Rising serpent (@rising_serpent) March 27, 2020
" In another article in the Journal, Guan et al.5 report mortality of 1.4% among 1099 patients with laboratory-confirmed Covid-19"— Rising serpent (@rising_serpent) March 27, 2020
" If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%"— Rising serpent (@rising_serpent) March 27, 2020

"..or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively'— Rising serpent (@rising_serpent) March 27, 2020
