4-5% of those infected, so far as the available data goes. May be lower due to lack of complete screening and the fact that infections can be mild enough they don't get reported. Given that Itailians are in general a little healthier than US citizens (lower BMI, more exercise, etc) and those things have an effect on mortality, the death rate in the US may or may not be higher than Italy.
China and S. Korea show very low death rates for young people, but it appears that the numbers are higher in Italy (so are total death rates). Have not heard of the permanent lung damage, but I'd not be surprised. Makes sense that poor condition or underlying health issues cause higher death rates if significant lung damage occurs. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
