Coronavirus latest: How many people have died from Coronavirus?

Although the figures presented by John’s Hopkins seem particularly alarming, the death rate is still relatively low.

Researchers currently estimate between five and 40 of 1,000 coronavirus cases are fatal, with a rough rate of one percent.

In reality, the death rate could be much lower, as several hundred or thousands of cases could cause mild symptoms and go unreported.

The deadliest cases are the easiest to count, which could lead to an overestimated fatality rate.
