Global case fatality rate from COVID‐19 has decreased by 96.8% during 2.5 years of the pandemic

From www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - May 7, 2023 4:10 AM

We appreciate the commendable work by Wang et al. 1 in evaluating the incidence and case fatality rate (CFR) of SARS‐CoV‐2 Delta and Omicron variants. Two and a half years have passed since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID‐19) pandemic. The CFR from hospitalized COVID‐19 patients was estimated to be 20% or more during the early phase of the pandemic. 2 , 3 Over the course of 2.5 years, the mortality rate has drastically decreased. While some believe that COVID‐19 is now similar to the common cold or seasonal influenza, others still think of COVID‐19 as a highly fatal disease. As the authors stated, the Omicron variant led to a lower CFR around the world. To our knowledge, a chronological study of COVID‐19 CFR spanning 2.5 years has not been reported.The Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, the Center for Systems Science and Engineering provided us with weekly numbers of new cases and deaths from January 26, 2020 to August 21, 2022.

Uncertainty remains about the degree of protection vaccination affords against asthma exacerbations that are related to influenza infection. Evidence from recently published trials indicates that there is no significant increase in asthma exacerbations immediately after vaccination (at least with inactivated influenza vaccination). There is concern regarding possible increased wheezing and hospital admissions in infants given live intranasal vaccination.
