Why coronavirus pandemic could be DEADLIER than first believed

As of Monday, The United States has the highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the world, with 1,007,514.

Of that number, 56,624 have died after contracting the virus.

The death toll in the US equals a fatality rate of around 5.7 percent.

Italy’s crude fatality rate, meaning raw numbers of cases and deaths unadjusted, is at 14,1 percent.

These figures may be lower than reality, as testing shortages, asymptomatic patients and delays in data collections along with the excess deaths unattributed to COVID-19 cast doubt on official data.
