> Coronavirus: South Korea's aggressive testing gives clues to true fatality rate

>World Health Organisation Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Tuesday said the global mortality rate from Covid-19 recorded so far was about 3.4 per cent, higher than previous estimates - though this figure was accompanied by caveats that the rate could be lower when more was known about the disease.

>Yet in South Korea, where the country's Centres for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday reported 6,088 cases and 40 deaths, the mortality rate appears to be hovering around 0.65 per cent.

>While this is still several times more lethal than seasonal influenza, which kills about 0.1 per cent of the people it infects - 30,000-40,000 people in the US alone each year - South Korea's rate is far lower than that seen elsewhere.

>When you include people who show LITTLE TO NO SYMPTOMS, the death rate goes down to an almost normal flu virus.

 

So anon does the math.

  • WHO estimates 3.4% mortality based only testing the severe cases, a higher percentage of which result in death.

  • South Korea aggressively tests everybody who might be ill, and finds 0.65% mortality

 

3.4% / 0.65% = 5.23

 

It comes out that WHO's estimate may be 5.23x too high. 5.23 = 523%.
