Overview

Due to the lack of data, the exact incidence rate of coronavirus infections can not be approximated. With 8,098 confirmed cases, the case fatality-rate of SARS was 9.6%. With 2465 laboratory-confirmed cases, the case fatality-rate of MERS was 34.4%. The case fatality-rate of 2019-nCoV in the first 99 patients at a Wuhan hospital (the epicenter of the outbreak) has been found to be 11%.
