expert reaction to WHO Director-General’s comments that 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died globally
Prof Mark Woolhouse, Professor of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, University of Edinburgh, said:
"The WHO is using the official figure for confirmed cases as the denominator, and this gives the estimate of 3.4%. But if a significant number of mild cases have been missed or not reported then this estimate is too high. Though there is disagreement about this,
some studies have suggested that it is approximately 10 times too high. This would bring the death rate in line with some strains of influenza . "
Prof Christl Donnelly, University of Oxford, and WHO Collaborating Centre for Infectious Disease Modelling, Imperial College London, said:
"Our analyses have included estimates of the case fatality ratio, but also the infection fatality ratio.
The infection fatality ratio is the proportion of infections (including those with no symptoms or mild symptoms) that die of the disease. Our estimate for this is 1%. This is lower than the observed 3.4% figure because asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic cases are included in the denominator.”If you wanted some guys with fancy degrees who wear white coats to tell you what I pretty much already told you, well there it is. COVBULL-19 is not nearly as deadly as all the hype and hysteria of money printers would lead you to believe.
