Coronavirus death rate is lower than previously reported, study says, but it's still deadlier than seasonal flu

The research, published in the medical journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases, estimated that about 0.66% of those infected with the virus will die.
That coronavirus death rate, which is lower than earlier estimates, takes into account potentially milder cases that often go undiagnosed -- but it's still far higher than the 0.1% of people who are killed by the flu.

The coronavirus infection-fatality rate spikes up to 7.8% of those 80 or older, but death is rare in children <9 yo (0.00161%), and for those <40, the fatality rate was never higher than 0.16%.

The convalescent plasma approach mentioned previously getting more attention.
Dr. Dena Grayson @DrDenaGrayson
Widespread antibody testing for #coronavirus would identify those who are immune, who then could:
Safely go to work even in “hazardous” jobs
Donate their antibody-rich plasma that could potentially save the lives of others
#COVID19 #CoronavirusPandemic

Replying to @DrDenaGrayson
It could put us back to work...combined with rapid diagnostic testing we could get out of this economic tailspin. We could also get convalescent plasma.

Nick riddle me this. Why has Florida gotten the quickest aid response, when places like NYC, Wash., New Orleans are in far worse condition. Also why has the Florida governor refused to shut down the state? Considering the age of the population I find it irresponsible. I am not alone, the state is currently being sued to shut it down, lawyers also filed for discovery to find out what the hell is going on.

Mush may get his wish. The UK PM promises a reckoning for China will come after the virus slows down....https://nypost.com/2020/03/30/uk-fur...gn-against-us/
The rate of rise appears to be FLATTENING in NYC. (as chart RC posted yesterday suggested)
Michigan not looking good, and Florida is BARELY testing. Still in denial Ron? This could be tragic!

Dr, you crack me up....The EXPERTS don’t even know....OTHERWISE THIS WOULD HAVE ENDED BEFORE IT STARTED!!!!!
You heard what one the Dr’s said yesterday:
.There is no magic ball.
What else do you need to hear?
Seriously Dr?
What else?
Do you just want to hear that 1/3 of the US will die because of this?
