By April 25, the U.S. had more than 905,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and nearly 52,000 deaths, giving it a mortality rate around 5.7 percent. (In comparison, Spain's mortality rate was 10.2 percent and Italy's was 13.5 percent.) [87] [88] In April 2020, more than 10,000 American deaths had occurred in nursing homes.
As deaths are easier to identify than infections (which are regularly asymptomatic), the true case fatality rate (CFR) is likely lower than the observed CFR. Reports from Socialstyrelsen in Sweden indicates 20797 cases of Covid-19 deaths as of 2024-10-15 [5] which differs from the table below.
SARS‑CoV‑2 belongs to the broad family of viruses known as coronaviruses. [28] It is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA (+ssRNA) virus, with a single linear RNA segment. Coronaviruses infect humans, other mammals, including livestock and companion animals, and avian species. [104]
The figures presented are based on reported cases and deaths. While in several high-income countries the ratio of total estimated cases and deaths to reported cases and deaths is low and close to 1, for some countries it may be more than 10 [7] or even more than 100. [8] Implementation of COVID-19 surveillance methods varies widely. [9]
Human infectious diseases may be characterized by their case fatality rate (CFR), the proportion of people diagnosed with a disease who die from it (cf. mortality rate).It should not be confused with the infection fatality rate (IFR), the estimated proportion of people infected by a disease-causing agent, including asymptomatic and undiagnosed infections, who die from the disease.
This article contains the monthly cumulative number of deaths from the pandemic of COVID-19 reported by each country, territory, and subnational area to the World Health Organization (WHO) and published in WHO reports, tables, and spreadsheets. [1] [2] [3] There are also maps and timeline graphs of daily and weekly deaths worldwide. [note 1 ...
Using such data, estimates of the true number of deaths from COVID-19 worldwide have included a range from 18.2 to 33.5 million (≈27.4 million) by 18 November 2023 by The Economist, [7] [73] as well as over 18.5 million by 1 April 2023 by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation [74] and ≈18.2 million (earlier) deaths between 1 ...
