"The coronavirus is now killing around 0.6% of people it infects, an improvement from April, when the death rate was about 0.9%, says the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington."
It then goes on to say that another researcher suggests it "could be" even lower, down to 0.15%
And I didn't see anything there about the 99.6% survival rate for confirmed infection cases. You can estimate the CFR (case fatality rate) from the daily worldometer numbers. Currently, today, we have 161,000 new cases, and 2,100 deaths. That is about 1.3%. I know that's not exact because there is a delay between detection and death. It's actually higher since the average new case number from about two to four weeks ago was even lower. Shoot, to get to a 99.6% survival rate with 2,100 cases, there would have to be a daily average of 525,000 confirmed cases. We've never sniffed anything like that number. Where did you get the 99.6% survival rate for confirmed cases?
