If 6 of 7 COVID-19 Cases Are Not Being Reported as One Study Suggests
The Current Mortality Rate Sinks to Flu-Like Levels
The coronavirus continues to hit the senior population and those with prior health disrders the hardest.
The US coronavirus mortality rate dipped to 1.25% on Sunday using deaths (396) divided by confirmed cases (38,167).
The mortality rate for the coronavirus in the US continues to fall as more and more Americans are being tested.
12 days ago the US coronavirus mortality rate was 4.06
Today the mortality rate is down to 1.25%!
4.06% March 8 (22 deaths of 541 cases)
3.69% March 9 (26 of 704)
3.01% March 10 (30 of 994)
2.95% March 11 (38 of 1,295)
2.52% March 12 (42 of 1,695)
2.27% March 13 (49 of 2,247)
1.93% March 14 (57 of 2,954)
1.84% March 15 (68 of 3,680)
1.6% March 17 (116 of 7,301)
1.4% March 19 (161 of 11,329)
1.25% March 20 (237 of 18,845)
01.25% March 22 (396 of 38,167)
Yossi Getetner posted a list earlier in the week.
But this number may actually be much lower.
Hospitals and urgent care clinics are turning potential COVID-19 victims away on a daily basis. We all now know someone who was told not to come in to be tested because officials were only concentrating on the seriously ill.
That means the current mortality rate is SIGNIFICANTLY lower if you factor in ALL OF THE CASES that are not being reported, and where people are not feeling sick enough to be tested.
That number could be 6-7 times higher than the current number of 38,167 as a recent study suggests.
That puts the coronavirus mortality rate in the US at 0.1% to 0.2%. This is similar number to a flu virus.
