So if you went into the hospital because of Corona.....here in Germany....your odds were one out of five dying.
N-TV had a piece today and talked over the technical data that AOK (the insurance folks) gleaned.
Now, it DOES NOT mean that everyone who had Corona actually went to a hospital. German doctors reserved the bed spaces only for people who had secondary conditions or a fairly rough time with Corona. This would then suggest that four out of five....in rough times or having secondary conditions....survived in the hospital.
For this period discussed (late Feb to late Apr), 1700-odd patients ended up being ventilated (to help them), and roughly 900 of them didn't make it.
The other folks (8,300-odd Germans) avoided the ventilation business, and their death rate was 16-percent.
The bulk of the ventilated people being over 80 years old? Well....73-percent were in that category.
There's probably going to be more studies done, and ventilation is going to be heavily discussed.
It's an interesting piece on statistical data, and worth reading.
