Let me try to rephrase what you're saying just to understand where you're coming from. "these are cool numbers, but what's the chance that the average person is going to actually have any of these complications?". I don't have any cogent numbers on that, but the current deaths/(deaths+resolved) percentage is 8%.
- leereeves 7y ago> what's the chance that the average person is going to actually have any of these complications? Yes, that's the question we'd all like to have the answer to. But we don't know how many mild or asymptomatic cases have resolved, so the deaths/(deaths+resolved) calculation is a known divided by an unknown.
- Medicalidiot 7y agoI didn't even think of how many people are asymptomatic carriers when I said that number. More data, like all science, is the answer here. Honestly, someone I highly respect who is high up on the medicine food chain is very concerned that a lot of people are going to die and that's been making me very concerned.
