How fatal is Covid-19 when compared to other viruses?


Among the ten major virus outbreaks in the last 50 years, Marburg ranked first in terms of the fatality rate with 80 percent. In comparison, the recent novel coronavirus, originating from the Chinese city of Wuhan, had an estimated fatality rate of 2.2 percent as of January 31, 2020.

    If you do the math, that percentage of 2.2% has currently dropped to around 1.8%.

    Where I see what seems like politicization is that we already knew it had a low fatality rate a year ago, yet many chose to do lock-downs which perhaps have more adverse affects on health overall.
