The U.S. has the world's highest coronavirus death rate at more than 5% - a number that reflects the country's lack of testing

The US has the world's highest death rate for the new coronavirus: Based on the ratio of confirmed deaths to reported cases, 5.4% of patients have died. That's far higher than the global rate of 3.4% that World Health Organization reported on Tuesday — and even higher than mainland China's 3.7%.

Only the Philippines has a higher coronavirus death rate than the US, and that's because it has only had three cases. One of them, a man from Wuhan, China, became the first known fatality outside China in early February.

It's highly unlikely that the coronavirus is more deadly in the U.S.; rather, the number is likely the result of limited testing in the U.S.

Because widespread testing wasn't possible in the country in recent weeks, the CDC held stringent standards for who qualified for a test. Until Wednesday, the agency only tested people who had recent exposure to a confirmed patient, had travelled to a country with an outbreak, or required hospitalization.

So the U.S. has not tested or diagnosed many patients with mild cases.

"There's another whole cohort that is either asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic," Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a February 6 briefing. "We're going to see a diminution in the overall death rate."

As of Thursday, the US' national coronavirus case count was 221. That total includes results from state-level coronavirus testing, implemented more widely. The CDC had only confirmed 99 cases across the country as of Thursday at noon. If you calculate the death rate based on only those federally verified cases, it jumps to roughly 10%.

All these Muslims and satanist doing everything possible to spread false propaganda in a bid to hurt Trump's Reelection but they have failed .. When people that support an incompetent Buhari hate Trump then you should know he is doing something right ...

This one no sabi basic math and calculation. his is how you people fail WAEC.

NGpatriot:



So, me saying God loves me means God doesn't like you?

Apart from the fact that you have reading and comprehension issues, you are just another Nigerian hating and evil wishing doom and gloom ipon.

When was the last time God listened to your evil prayers and wishes against Nigeria?

Abeg go away with your evil aura.

godkiller:


God does not hate them but this is a lesson to solely depend of God.

Nigerians are highly spiritual and we love God.

eduman365:


I taught English for several years and I can tell you authoritatively that you are the wrong one here. Saying one nation has a higher rate of Coronavirus than the other as a parameter for God's love is the only thing evil here and you are the EVIL one.

Now that the coronavirus is already in Nigeria and a person with no foreign contact has gotten it, let's see what happens in the next few weeks. Instead of you all to be praying that it doesn't spread in Nigeria with the abysmal healthcare system we have here, you're comparing an us to America.

Your country is still battling hunger, boko haram, infrastructure decay, bad roads and the list goes on...

Once again, you are talking in the rubbish...

FrLukas:


Revert back to your own post, Mathematics professor and solve the riddle therein.

I don't have energy to waste on your ignorant and pointless rubbish.


Next.

You are a rude soul incapable of a technical discourse, dialogue or constructive argument. We know your type... Gerrourrahia!

I know your type hence trying not to let you drag me into your pointless argument.

Face the article and if you still don't understand, that's your problem.

NGpatriot:



What riddle? The article is self-explanatory, that's if you have basic reading and comprehension skills.

The US has the world's highest death rate for the new coronavirus:

Only the Philippines has a higher coronavirus death rate than the US

eduman365:


We are also highly hypocritical and we hate each other. You cannot love God without loving your neighbours. Even God who we claim to love is usually because of our search for material things... Humans are the same everywhere.
