That means nobody really knows the total number of cases, yes?
The true number of cases is almost certainly higher, by many multiples. But nobody knows how many. Similarly, there will be cases who have fully recovered and aren't in these numbers.
How on earth is it possible to Calculate a % mortality rate (and compare it across countries) when we don't know the vital figure of total number of infections.?
Equally, you do know that different countries have different testing methods, different definitions of what 'infected' means and also different attitudes towards mass testing? Some countries will also simply lie about their numbers.
That chart is essentially meaningless as it is not comparing like for like. The numbers are not consistently arrived at so no comparison is possible.
Drawing any sort of conclusions from such flawed data is a castle built on sand.
Iwng100 ..... yes, this whole thing is disquieting buddy. Try not to fuel your (very understandable) anxiety by looking at idiots' so called science on the internet ������������
I agree 100% with everything you said about the numbers, this is why I mentioned in the previous posts we can't make any statistic for those who are still sick and even for those who were sick (closed cases) the MR percentage presented by worldometers.info could be higher than the real one because there are probably more recovered, but my intervention in this thread was only a disagreement to ACDP to not classify the Covid -19
as an HCID because, according to them, it has a low mortality rate.
This kind of attitude and the numerous "anti-panic" talk-shows, make a lot of young people to think they are safe and to become careless.
One of my friends, a close one, he said to me he's not worried at all : " I'm 51 years old in a very good condition, at 3-4 % mortality rate I'm sure I 'll survive if I'll catch it " he didn't even take in consideration he'd put in danger his 82years old mother who lives in the same house.
And yes, I agree that 100% of coronavirus patients will eventually die
