The U.S. Case Fatality Rate now exceeds 5%.
The world CFR is at 6.7%.
And Sweden’s is at 10.6%.
so let me get this right, if 1) one has bad enough symptoms to go to the hospital to get tested, 2) tests positive for covid and does not have normal flu, bronchitis, pneumonia, and 3) is treated in a timely manner in the bests ways we know how then that hohort has a 5% chance of dying.
Without knowing how many asymptomatic cases there are (the denominator) and 1, 2, and 3 constraints then a number like 5% is at best meaningless and at worst dishonest.
