New WHO estimate puts coronavirus death rate at only 0.13%

U.N. body’s figure in March was 26 times higher

Lost in the reporting of the World Health Organization’s new estimate that about 760 million people – more than 20 times the confirmed cases – have been infected by the coronavirus worldwide is the impact on the estimated survival rate.

If, indeed, 760 million have been infected at some point during the outbreak and the number of confirmed deaths is about 1 million, the infection fatality rate is only 0.13%.

That’s a little more than one-tenth of 1%, which the WHO says is the rate for the seasonal flu.
