To determine true mortality rate exclude those currently ill and look only at resolved cases, dead or alive.
3800 / (60,000+3800) = 6.0%
4300 / (60,000+4300) = 6.7%
4700 / (68000+4700) = 6.5%
4900 / (68000+4900) = 6.7%
It is over 6%
These ratios arenât changing much...
This means 4,700 of the 62,000 known patients will die in the next couple of weeks.
Meanwhile new infections are in exponential growth ahead of detection.
If this pandemic keeps spreading like flu over a billion people will have it this year

We also know 15% of cases need hospital care in ICU requiring ventilators. 15%!
Of these hospitalised patients 40% are dying. Thatâs your 6% current overall death toll.
If health services are overwhelmed (not enough staff or ventilators to cope) the mortality rate will rise.

If a billion people are infected globally, we are likely to lose 60 million people to this disease in the next 12 months before vaccines are developed and ready for global distribution. Is this in any way acceptable? Wake up everyone! Take all precautions you can, NOW.
If government has failed to protect you, take responsibility for protecting yourselves! Now!
The latest figures 14th March.
The ratio calculation from resolved cases only, recovered or dead.
5700 / (73,000 + 5,700) = 7.24%
This is about the same percentage of the worldâs population over the age of 70.
As influenza does, this virus is 20x worse! Protect you old folks.

Today Sunday 15 March:
Analysing the numbers as above, the ratio of deaths to the number of know resolved cases.
Deaths / recovered + dead
5,700 / 73,000+5,700 = 7.24%
In Italy, the number of recoveries is small so far. Measure deaths / total:
1,441 / 21,157 = 6.81%

Spain yesterday
120 / 4,231 = 2.84%
Spain today
228 / 7,750 = 2.94%
This is early in a rising epidemic with few recoveries so far, and most existing known cases yet to resolve.
This means there are a substantial number of the known cases who will die, 6-7% mortality is likely.

Deaths have more than doubled from 3,800 to 9,000 despite all efforts so far to slow the pandemic.
This means in another week weâll reach 450,000 and in 2 weeks 900,000 cases, with the death toll rising over 40,000.

Lockdown came too late and hundreds of thousands will inevitably die, but we can still hope to prevent millions of deaths.

EXPONENTIAL GROWTH
I started analysing pandemic numbers on March 13th (see thread below): That included predictions that have been proved right.
On Mar12 the Total reached 100,000 and Mortality was 6% based on numbers from China...

As CoViD-19 spread outside China increasing Mortality Rates (MR) emerged as Totals (T) increased exponentially doubling every 6 days and reducing the influence of Chinese stats.
Mar12 T=100,000 MR=6%
Mar18 T=200,000 MR=9%
Mar24 T=400,000 MR=14%

Numbers from the first study of the epidemic in Wuhan indicated that at least 15% of recorded cases needed hospitalisation in intensive care and 40% of those patients died. Thatâs a 6% Mortality Rate. Some found a higher MR.
South Koreaâs best-managed epidemic is showing 3% MR.
South Koreaâs best-managed epidemic is showing 3% MR.
Tragically in Europe & America we have a high proportion of elderly people & many with underlying health conditions.
We are seeing MRâs of 20-45%.
We should have been prepared for a pandemic of this magnitude, but we werenât & we didnât have the social discipline to control it...

SARS was successfully contained and controlled. It was significantly less contagious than todayâs COVID-19 otherwise known as SARS-CoV-2...

A Simple Conclusion/
A Simple Conclusion from these studies & comparisons:
1) COVID-19 is a SARS-type Coronavirus. Both orginated from bats in China.
2) COVID-19 is as deadly as SARS (2003) and much more contagious.
3) COVID-19 is not flu. It is more contagious than flu and 100 times more lethal.

We are beginning to see a slowdown in the rate of spread of the pandemic, with Chinaâs Hubei Province and S.Korea well past their peaks and now European countries showing their first benefits of lock-down & social distancing. Numbers in USA are rocketing this week.
SARS-CoV-2 has infected just 1.6M confirmed cases; probably nearer 8M including all unrecorded deaths and untested mild or asymptomatic cases.
Lockdown can halt exponential growth reducing to linear growth with R0 around 1.0, but itâs still spreading-
How do we get out of this?

How do we get out of this?
8M is only 0.1% of the world population. How do we come out of lockdown without spreading the virus and starting new bigger outbreaks?
Weâre not looking at small seed numbers now. Hundreds of cities and regions all over the World are primed to explode...
We are in stalemate.
Weâre not looking at small seed numbers now. Hundreds of cities and regions all over the World are primed to explode...
We are in stalemate.
The only escape from this predicament is total quarantine of the fraction of 1% of the Worldâs polulation currently infected.
Thatâs easier said than done but it must be done through universal testing & tracing BEFORE we relax lockdown measures... & we must hope for a vaccine.

the Worldâs death toll from CoViD-19 surpassed 120,000

More than 6,000 per day since 1st April.
These numbers from Worldometer on Tuesday morning & an update of what these numbers mean in terms of what has happened and what is still to come in this crisis /
Worldometer is tracking all reported CoViD-19 data; including country data & a range of graphs and other information.
First, the good news is that social distancing stay-at-home orders have cut exponential growth of the pandemic. Daily increases in cases and deaths are slowing.
First, the good news is that social distancing stay-at-home orders have cut exponential growth of the pandemic. Daily increases in cases and deaths are slowing.
The bad news is that we are still losing over 5,000 people per day.
The total numbers of active cases and critical ICU cases is still rising.
This means the crisis is nowhere near over & we are going to have to remain locked down for another 2-3 months. This is the new normal.
