Corona: Mortality rate of the virus according to some parameters.


Age, Sex, Existing Conditions of COVID-19 Cases and Deaths

There are two sources that provide age, sex, and comorbidity statistics:

  • The Report of the WHO-China Joint Mission published by WHO, [2] which is based on 55,924 laboratory-confirmed cases. The report notes that "The Joint Mission acknowledges the known challenges and biases of reporting crude CFR early in an epidemic"
  • A paper by the Chinese CCDC  which is based on 72,314 confirmed, suspected, and asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 in China and was published in the Chinese Journal of Epidemiology [1]
We will list data from both, labelling them as "confirmed cases" and "all cases" respectively in the tables.
Age of Coronavirus Deaths

COVID-19 Fatality Rate by AGE:

*Death Rate = (number of deaths/number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on the age group. The percentages shown below do not have to add up to 100%, as they do NOT represent the share of deaths by age group. Rather, it represents, for a person in a given age group, the risk of dying if infected with COVID-19.
AGE
DEATH RATE

all cases
80+ years old
21.9%

0-9 years old
no fatalities
In general, relatively few cases are seen among children.

Sex ratio

COVID-19 Fatality Rate by SEX:

*Death Rate = (number of deaths/number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on sex. When reading these numbers, it must be taken into account that smoking in China is much more prevalent among males. Smoking increases the risks of respiratory complications.
SEX

Male
4.7%
2.8%
Female
2.8%
1.7%
Pre-existing medical conditions (comorbidities)
Patients who reported no pre-existing ("comorbid") medical conditions had a case fatality rate of 0.9%. Pre-existing illnesses that put patients at higher risk of dying from a COVID-19 infection are:

COVID-19 Fatality Rate by COMORBIDITY:

*Death Rate = (number of deaths/number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on a pre-existing condition. The percentage shown below does NOT represent in any way the share of deaths by a pre-existing condition. Rather, it represents, for a patient with a given pre-existing condition, the risk of dying if infected by COVID-19.
PRE-EXISTING CONDITION
DEATH RATE
confirmed cases		DEATH RATE
all cases
Cardiovascular disease
13.2%

Diabetes

Chronic respiratory disease

Hypertension

Cancer

no pre-existing conditions
0.9%
*Death Rate = (number of deaths/number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). The percentages do not have to add up to 100%, as they do NOT represent the share of deaths by the condition.

BASAVANNA : The life of Bhaktibhandari Basavanna

Reasons to Believe that Aliens are exist

Alien dreams have  always been powered by the desire for human importance in a vast.  Most  conspiracy theory  is fueled by a desire to see the universe as ultimately intelligible. Especially when it is started in a western nation. The first reports of what could be called UFOs emerged in the late 1800s, though in those days they didn't use terms like "UFO" or "flying saucer," but instead "airships."  UFO encounter occurred in 1897 Texas, when E.E. Haydon, a newspaper reporter for the Dallas Morning News, described an amazing encounter complete with a crashed spacecraft, dozens of eyewitnesses, a recovered dead Martian body, and metallic wreckage . Another famous UFO sighting occurred near Phoenix, Arizona, in March 1997 when a series of bright lights were reported in the night skies. October 13, 2010:  UFOs over Manhattan  turned out to be helium balloons that escaped from a party at a school in Mount Vernon.  A Navy F-18 fighter jet film
