and the death rate in those infected is nearly 5%. “””
No it isnt. THAT is my point. If it were 5 percent we would be awash in the dead. When killer bugs get a start they KILL enough people that then justifies this rediculous response we’ve been indulging in.
Just like 40% of everyone died during the Ebola outbreak of 2015, which had a 40% death rate? And everyone is dead from rabies, which has a 100% death rate?
FYI, case fatality rates (CFR) are based on the numbers of cases. I do a simple death rate calculation because there are still active cases, soI do not have the necessary information to calculate the CFR. You can do a death rate calculation yourself:
Number of deaths divided by number of cases, multiplied by 100 to get a percentage.
