REALITYCHECK
A doctor of repute with experience in Public Health & Adm shared the following insights on #Corona yesterday.

1. 78% of #Covid19 infections are asymptomatic. Which means people get infected with no symptoms, no isolation, no medication and get cured on their own
1/n

2. Of the asymptomatic patients, no trace, isolation or inference is possible.

3. Hardy Indian immunity might be getting the better of asymptomatic cases.

4. Of 22% remaining, 3-5% mortality is being reported. Which means 1.1 person per 100 infected dies of the disease.

5. As of today, with 9240 confirmed cases, there have 332 deaths @ 3.6% mortality, which, practically speaking, is not alarming.

6. As of date 0.00072% of population has been infected and 0.000025% deaths have occurred.

3/n

7. We need to take care to contain the spread of #Covid19 but need not be unduly troubled with its outcome.

I am not a public health professional, I may have erred in compiling this thread.
