"Of covid19 is currently 98.5%.. " so the mortality rate is 1.5% next time anyone makes the "no more dangerous than the flu" comparison... remind them the flu has a mortality rate of 0.1% | |||

"Of covid19 is currently 98.5%.. so the mortality rate is 1.5% next time anyone makes the "no more dangerous than the flu" comparison... remind them the flu has a mortality rate of 0.1% " Exactly Coronavirus looks to be 15 times more deadly than the flu and much much more contagious. | |||

"The mortality rate will decrease as the number of tests and cases identified increases? " Well mortality rate in the Uk based on confirmed cases vs confirmed deaths is 30,076 / 201101 Which is a mortality rate of 14.95% So for that to be 1.5% it means there must be an extra 10 time’s as people have been infected than we know about meaning there must have been 2,000,000 people infected already. | |||

"The mortality rate will decrease as the number of tests and cases identified increases? " Yes the more people tested the lower the mortality rate will drop. | |||

"The mortality rate will decrease as the number of tests and cases identified increases? this. We truly dont know as we havent been tasting everyone eith symptoms. Let alone the asymptomatic " Germany tested far more....including asymptomatic. Hence the lower apparent death rate. The 1.5% figure comes from worldwide. Not all countries testing at German rate so again seems higher and may be higher than actual rate of all cases including asymptomatic. Could be closer to rate from Germany. Here will be higher as we have higher BAME population and their fatality rate is over 4 times higher than the native population. My "guess" is by the time it's over could pan out about 1%?? | |||

"The mortality rate will decrease as the number of tests and cases identified increases? this. We truly dont know as we havent been tasting everyone eith symptoms. Let alone the asymptomatic " Iceland have tested something like 15% of their population and found 1799 cases with a death toll of 10. Which is a mortality rate of 0.55% which so still 5 times more deadly than the flu. San Marino on the other hand have tested 8% of their population and found 608 cases with a death tole of 41. Which is a mortality rate of 6.7% Who currently estimate mortality rate to be around 3%. Anything above 1% and with the ease this virus spreads should be alarming to everyone. Because flu is 0.1%. | |||

"This virus doesn't just kill, it can attack vital organs, leaving permanent damage. The survival, non-death rate, may seem like many are now very well but it is just that. It can attack the circulatory system and heart, kidneys, brain and other organs, including the lungs that we know about. This widespread breakdown of the body, potentially cognitive decline too, sets this virus apart from others that we're more familiar with. With abysmal testing rates here, we're in the dark about the levels of damage to the population. Greater reason for a slower release of the restrictions. " Exactly. There may be horrific long term effects for everyone that has been infected symptomatic or not. | |||

" That's not quite a correct comparison as the flu numbers are based on much greater knowledge and understanding of numbers infected, whereas with SARS-2 we only know positive cases from those tested. Once antibody testing ramps up alongside the current testing, then we will have a similar understanding of percentages for this virus. | |||

Because detection early may transpire to symptomatic later down the line. | |||

"Survival rate here in Fuerteventura is 100%. Around 125,000 inhabitants and no one has died. That deserves a headline, but media aren't interested in good news." That is right it does. I guess such news doesnt sell as much as it should be. | |||

"Of covid19 is currently 98.5%.. " So as a population of what 65 million people can someone please do the math. If 98.5% die how many deaths will that be and over what timescale and what about re infection they still don't know. Also secondary death's as a result of becoming sick recovering but contracting something else as a direct result. | |||

"Survival rate here in Fuerteventura is 100%. Around 125,000 inhabitants and no one has died. That deserves a headline, but media aren't interested in good news." Question. Has tourism stopped completely are they still allowing people to visit on holiday. Also is this figure based on permanent residents? Doesn't the island have a large transient workforce who are not permanent residents with the hotel industry,how many who have returned home have died? | |||

Doesn't the island have a large transient workforce who are not permanent residents with the hotel industry,how many who have returned home have died? " Tourism has stopped completely. Next week some hotels will open, but only for inhabitants of the island ( yes, some who live here, holiday here too!). The number quoted is permanent residents and second home owners with names registered on Padron Municipal. I doubt very much if any foreign workers have died after being here as there have only been 44 cases in total, most of those in the capital Puerto del Rosario which is not really a big tourist place, apart from cruise day trippers. Some sadly may have died after returning to their own country and catching it there. We have been extremely lucky here. | |||

So if you if everyone was infected almost a million people would die if the mortality rate was 1.5%" Think you'll find that if lockdown wasn't put in place the death toll would be well over 1 million..just by the fact the volume of cases would swamp the NHS.. meaning some that currently have been given the chance to recover..by ITU actions would get in to the rooms/wards.. resulting in death..plus all the other people blocked from accessing the hospital's by the volume of patients.. | |||

I agree. I was just doing the maths for someone who asked. COVID is a truly horrible disease. | |||

Where did you get 100,000 from? You are a factor of 10 out. | |||
