Episode notes
True Fatality Rate
- The coronavirus death rate is calculated incorrectly by comparing deaths to positive tests.
- The real rate compares deaths to total infections, including asymptomatic cases, which are unknown.
Overestimated Fatality Rate
- Stanford professors argue the coronavirus fatality rate is overestimated due to limited testing.
- Widespread infection with mild or no symptoms points to a much lower death rate.
Wuhan Evacuation Example
- Repatriated Wuhan citizens showed a 0.9% infection rate, suggesting a 30-fold higher infection rate than reported cases in Wuhan.
- This implies a much lower fatality rate than initially estimated.
