mikeman Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 World health officials said Tuesday the mortality rate for COVID-19 is 3.4% globally, higher than previous estimates of about 2%.“Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a press briefing at the agency’s headquarters in Geneva. In comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected, he said.The World Health Organization had said last week that the mortality rate of COVID-19 can differ, ranging from 0.7% to up to 4%, depending on the quality of the health-care system where it’s treated. Early in the outbreak, scientists had concluded the death rate was around 2.3%.During a press briefing Monday, WHO officials said they don’t know how COVID-19 behaves, saying it’s not like influenza. They added that while much is known about the seasonal flu, such as how it’s transmitted and what treatments work to suppress the disease, that same information is still in question when it comes to the coronavirus.

mikeman Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Iran has confirmed 23 cases of Chinese coronavirus among its members of Parliament, the body’s deputy speaker confirmed on Tuesday.The nearly two dozen infections join those affecting several other senior members of Iran’s Islamic regime, including a vice president, a now-dead member of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s advisory committee, and the man Khamenei put in charge of coronavirus response. Also in the group of affected lawmakers is reportedly a representative from Qom, where the first coronavirus cases were documented, who claimed Tehran was vastly underreporting the number of cases in that city and that its public health response was, at best, lackluster. This could happen here easily, what would be the repercussions of a couple dozen senators and reps dying, lots of old ones, Nancy, mcconell, et?
