David-19 may actually be up to four times less lethal than thought, according to a controversial assessment.
A review of antibody surveillance studies which offer a clearer view of how many people have actually been infected suggests that the coronary has a mortality rate of 0.25 percent, means that it kills one in every 400 people who are infected by it, writes foreign media, broadcasts the news.
Most coroanvirus patterns are based on a death rate of about 1 per cent. By comparison, seasonal flu is estimated to kill about 0.1 per cent of patients.
The new assessment was based on the figures of 23 different test polls conducted worldwide, which suggested the mortality rate ranged from 0.02 to 0.78 per cent.
The study was conducted by the Stanford University's Dr John Ionnadis, an epidemiologist who was among a triple of scientists charged last month that they were trying to make Ovid-19 appear less lethal.
They claimed that the virus was 54 times less dangerous than official data showed.
Experts have questioned the assessment, questioning the way the study was conducted and saying the signs show that the virus is evidently more deadly.
