Kingman Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Age of Coronavirus Deaths COVID-19 Fatality Rate by AGE: *Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on the age group. The percentages shown below do not have to add up to 100%, as they do NOT represent share of deaths by age group. Rather, it represents, for a person in a given age group, the risk of dying if infected with COVID-19. AGE DEATH RATE confirmed cases DEATH RATE all cases 80+ years old 21.9% 14.8% 70-79 years old 8.0% 60-69 years old 3.6% 50-59 years old 1.3% 40-49 years old 0.4% 30-39 years old 0.2% 20-29 years old 0.2% 10-19 years old 0.2% 0-9 years old no fatalities *Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%).The percentages do not have to add up to 100%, as they do NOT represent share of deaths by agegroup. In general, relatively few cases are seen among children. Sex ratio COVID-19 Fatality Rate by SEX: *Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on sex. When reading these numbers, it must be taken into account thatsmoking in China is much more prevalent among males. Smoking increases the risks of respiratory complications. SEX DEATH RATE confirmed cases DEATH RATE all cases Male 4.7% 2.8% Female 2.8% 1.7% *Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). The percentages do not have to add up to 100%, as they do NOT represent share of deaths by sex. Pre-existing medical conditions (comorbidities) Patients who reported no pre-existing ("comorbid") medical conditions had a case fatality rate of 0.9%. Pre-existing illnesses that put patients at higher risk of dying from a COVID-19 infection are: COVID-19 Fatality Rate by COMORBIDITY: *Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on pre-existing condition. The percentage shown below does NOT represent in any way the share of deaths by pre-existing condition. Rather, it represents, for a patient with a given pre-existing condition, the risk of dying if infected by COVID-19. PRE-EXISTING CONDITION DEATH RATE confirmed cases DEATH RATE all cases Cardiovascular disease 13.2% 10.5% Diabetes 9.2% 7.3% Chronic respiratory disease 8.0% 6.3% Hypertension 8.4% 6.0% Cancer 7.6% 5.6% no pre-existing conditions 0.9% *Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%).

You might be able to have a real stab at it about three weeks after it's peaked but it's going to take a long while after it's gone before the true figure will be known Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 They knew if they removed all the passengers and crew off the ship immediately, they could have saved lives but USA was not prepared. Every major population center should have a dedicated facility for this kind of problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means the mortality rate maybe higher than the 1% being quoted a lot by the western media/establishment. Currently it's 3.4% in China. Even 1% is 10 times higher than the flu death rate, He says people in the west are cherry picking 1% as a low number, he thinks it's anywhere between 1 and 4%, and said China got really good at saving people and had lots of resource such as ECMO, ventilators, critical care facilities, more than a lot of western countries. England has a grand total of 15 EMCO beds. Intensive care is running almost at capacity as it is. Unlike the Chinese who built two hospitals in 10 days, we couldn't get past filling in a few forms in that time let alone design, build and hand over an operational asset. China also drafted in 10,000 staff from other provinces. We are tens of thousands of staff short. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still expecting an eventual V shape recovery following very loose monetary policies but how far it falls before that is anyone’s guess. Looking at 2600 area in spx if last weeks low goes.

It's Your Round Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) I’ve just watched this on BBC iPlayer, it’s scarily prophetic and highly relevant. They create a large scale social experiment using data to track the potential spread of an endemic flu type virus. It was first shown in 2018. Very interesting and well worth a watch.

villakram Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 I believe that China changed their reporting criteria some time ago to only those who tested positive AND were symptomatic. Italy has since adopted this and as such it'll likely be adopted worldwide. All percentage based numbers should thus be treated with some caution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just guessing but he will probably circle overhead with one eye on the game and the other on the lookout for small rodents in the undergrowth in the surrounding area.
