The Instagram post misrepresents data from the CDC’s COVID-19 Pandemic Planning Scenariosdocument published in September 2020. It was created so public health officials who use mathematical models could help hospitals and policymakers react to different levels of severity of the pandemic. The data does not show the likelihood of surviving COVID-19....
Most people who get COVID-19 will survive. Of roughly 35.2 million confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States, around 614,300 people, or 1.7%, have died, according to Johns Hopkins University’s mortality dataas of Aug 6. The CDC issues provisional death counts for COVID-19, but that data should not be used to infer a survival rate. Experts sayth...
An Instagram post claimed that the COVID-19 survival rate is over 99% for most age groups. The data it cited does not show the likelihood of surviving COVID-19. The post’s claim is based on data used to model pandemic scenarios. Experts say a person cannot determine their own chances at surviving COVID-19 by looking at national statistics, because ...
Jun 25, 2020 · Mortality was analysed by robust Poisson regression, and survival by Kaplan–Meier and Cox regression. From the 2070 people that tested positive to COVID-19, 131 (6.3%) died and 1939 (93.7%) survived, the overall survival probability was 87.7% from the 24th day of infection.

The case fatality rate (CFR) is simply the number of confirmed deaths divided by the number of confirmed cases. This chart here plots the CFR calculated in this way. When the number of actual cases and deaths is not known – as is the case for COVID – one has to be careful in interpreting the CFR.

Aug 4, 2020 · A COVID-19 death is defined for surveillance purposes as a death resulting from a clinically compatible illness in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID-19 disease (e.g. trauma). There should be no period of complete recovery between the illness and death [6].
Mortality in the most affected countries. For the twenty countries currently most affected by COVID-19 worldwide, the bars in the chart below show the number of deaths either per 100 confirmed cases (observed case-fatality ratio) or per 100,000 population (this represents a country’s general population, with both confirmed cases and healthy people).
