World health officials confirmed on Tuesday the fatality rate for the new coronavirus is at 3.4 percent globally, as Japan's Olympics minister said there's a possibility the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo could be delayed. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the World Health Organization, announced the mortality increase during a media briefing, which differed from the previously estimated rate of around 2 percent globally. In comparison, the death rate for the seasonal flu is far fewer than 1 percent, he said.

kn95 vs n95 - While many people globally have built up immunity to seasonal flu strains, COVID-19 is a new virus to which no one has immunity; that means more people are susceptible to infection, and some will suffer severe disease, Tedros said. Globally, about 3.4 percent of reported COVID-19 cases have died; by comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1 percent of those infected.

kn95 vs n95 - There are over 90,000 cases of the new coronavirus in at least 70 countries. Over 3,100 deaths have been reported around the world, including nine in the U.S. -- all in Washington State. Tedros added the COVID-19 is a unique virus that is deadlier, but it doesn't spread as easily when compared to influenza. This virus is not SARS, it's not MERS, and it's not influenza; it is a unique virus with unique characteristics, he said. With influenza, people who are infected but not yet sick are major drivers of transmission, which does not appear to be the case for COVID-19.
