Let's get out of the usual situation of our usual articles, to bring you some statistics that can help shed light on the aggressiveness (infections and deaths) of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) that is currently spreading also in Spain, as well as in China ( original outbreak) and in many countries around the world.
At the time of publication of this article (23/02/2020 at 21:53.000 p.m.), there are about 23.000 active cases of coronavirus infection, about 2.470 patients have been cured, and about 79.000 deaths have occurred, for a total of about XNUMX registered cases.
Coronavirus death statistics
Based on the more than 70.000 cases of COVID-19 (confirmed, suspected and asymptomatic) recorded in China as of February 11, a paper was published in the "Chinese Journal of Epidemiology" highlighting how the risk of death increases with age, as follows:
edad
| edad | Mortality rate |
| 80+ | 14.8% |
| 70 – 79 | 8.0% |
| 60 – 69 | 3.6% |
| 50 – 59 | 1.3% |
| 40 – 49 | 0.4% |
| 30 – 39 | 0.2% |
| 20 – 29 | 0.2% |
| 10 – 19 | 0.2% |
| 0 – 9 | no deaths |
It is evident that the elderly (over 70 years of age) are at greatest risk, while the youngest (under 50 years of age) recover in almost all cases.
Gender
| Gender | Mortality rate |
| Males | 2.8% |
| The females | 1.7% |
Men are more at risk than women.
pre-existing conditions
A pre-existing condition generally indicates the patient's health status before the infection occurred.
| pre-existing condition | Mortality rate |
| Cardiovascular problems | 10.5% |
| Diabetes | 7.3% |
| chronic respiratory diseases | 6.3% |
| Ipertensione | 6.0% |
| Cancer | 5.6% |
| no pre-existing conditions | 0.9% |
Here too, a sharp increase in deaths can be noted in the event that a patient infected with coronavirus is subject to certain pathologies/health problems.
