Study Notes
- Coronavirus has been compared to flu, but they are not directly comparable.
- Flu mortality rate is 0.1%, while the mortality rate for known cases of coronavirus is 3.4%.
- Many cases of coronavirus are going undetected, so the mortality rate may be closer to the flu.
- Even if the mortality rate drops to 0.1%, it is still potentially serious.
- The flu kills between 290,000 and 650,000 people every year.
- Coronavirus is highly transmissible and can spread quickly.
- Symptoms of flu and coronavirus are similar, including high fever, cough, and shortness of breath.
- Coronavirus can lead to pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, and multiple organ failure.
- Coronavirus is a new virus to which no one has immunity, making more people susceptible to infection.
- The most important thing to curb the spread of coronavirus is to wash hands thoroughly several times a day with hot water and soap for 20 seconds.
