How could a 2-digit percentage die when the fatality rate so far is substantially lower (~3% last I saw)?

- hcknwscommenter 7y agoBecause that is the fatality rate range (0.9-5%) when everyone gets a ventilator/ICU bed when needed.
- Buttons840 7y agoFrom what I've heard 12% have complications that would benefit from medical help, and 5% become "critical" and are likely to die without help. See https://youtu.be/BYTFk34nhoI https://youtu.be/BYTFk34nhoI from the 10 to 12 minute mark.
- risyachka 7y agoI believe fatality rate is calculated using diagnosed cases, while the real number is probably way higher so fatality rate is probably close 0.9-1%.
