Coronavirus : about 3.4%
They don't know how many are or have been infected with Coronavirus. But that also applies to flu. So if far more many people have been infected with flu then the far less than 1% rate for flu will be even lower.
Coronavirus is not to be taken lightly, even if it has been deliberately engineered to advance an 'agenda'.
Don't be terrified, but still take precautions.
Death rate rises to 3.4%
The death rate among reported coronavirus patients is now about 3.4%, a far higher percentage than previous estimates, the World Health Organization Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says. He said the virus is more lethal than the flu, which kills tens of thousands of Americans each year, but does not spread as easily.
The death rate for the seasonal flu in the U.S. is far less than 1%. Previous global mortality rate estimates for the coronavirus had been around 2%, and the 3.43% estimate is not firm because it remains unclear how many people actually have been infected.
"COVID-19 is a new virus to which no one has immunity," Tedros said. "That means more people are susceptible to infection, and some will suffer severe disease."
