More than 58,600 people have so far recovered from coronavirus in China. That’s more than 70% of cases reported in China as of today, and a lot more are still recovering. Latest case fatality count in Hubei is 1.5% and in China Outside Hubei is o.4%. So rest 98.5% to 99.6% are expected to recover!
Let’s go back to a China and a look at what happened to China during its earlier and peak days will give us a glimpse of what happens elsewhere.
On February 6 2020 - there were 3722 new cases of COVID-19 in China
That number has steadily gone down since then -
As of March 9 2020 there were 45 new cases of COVID-19 in China, although China is testing thousands times more people daily these day.
China didn’t develop any vaccine yet - they closed down Hubei province but rest of China remained open like rest of the world. They have contained the outbreak by standard public health measures.
To be able to give an accurate death rate / case fatality rate - it needs time and massive scale study. We’ll get those hopefully next year. So far studies coming out of China is saying that it hits hard early (Because it’s diagnosed in already very slick people) then tames down. One study showed that during early weeks in Hubei province - the death rate was 70% which, within one month went down to 1.5%.
