That’s a mortality rate of 47%. It’s not exactly the ‘close to 100%’ some folks have been bantering about.
Why are some of these people living and others not? Not caught in time?
If these cases had been treating in the West, I’ll bet the mortality rate would have been closer to 80%, perhaps more.
Actually many of the ‘cases’ are as yet unresolved. For those cases that have progressed to either death or recovery, the CFR is still around 70+% even with supportive care (that doesn’t include experimental drugs like tekmira or zmapp).
The death rate announced the other day is 84%. The numbers you are looking at are new cases added into the numbers which skew the death rate because they have not passed through the cycle of the disease and either lived or died....nice little propaganda trick to keep the fear down.
