[IsraelTimes] With continent lacking adequate health services and testing capabilities, WHO warns of 300,000 deaths and official says preparations are ‘an uphill battle’
In the two months since the continent began mobilizing to fight the outbreak, less than 500,000 tests have been conducted on a population of more than 1 billion. That’s just 325 people tested per 1 million people, Nkengasong said. That’s far lower than Italy, one of the world’s worst-hit countries, he said by way of comparison.
African governments reported nearly 26,000 cases as of Thursday, according to the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, up from just over 16,000 a week ago. Although those figures are still relatively small in the global picture, the sharp increase is a cause for concern, said Nkengasong. The previous week saw an increase of 29%.
Nearly 90 per cent of COVID-19 patients who were placed on ventilators in New York's largest health system DIED - and almost all of those hospitalized had underlying health conditions
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
- The study examined the electronic health records of 2,634 patients
- It found that overall, roughly 20 per cent of COVID-19 patients died
- Of those placed on ventilators, 88 per cent died. This rose to 97 for over 65s
- The study also indicates that those who have become the most severely ill have had some sort of underlying condition, such as high blood pressure or diabetes

Hong Kong researchers says China virus cases may have been four times higher than reported
[IsraelTimes] The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in China may in fact have been four times higher than reported, according to a study conducted by researchers at Hong Kong University’s school of public health and published in the British medical journal The Lancet. As of February 20, China had reported 55,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, but had Chinese authorities used a case definition adopted later in the outbreak, the number of number of confirmed cases by that date would have been as much as 232,000. The researchers go on to say that even that figure would be an underestimate of the number of infections up to that point, because it would not have captured some mild or asymptomatic cases.
China has currently reported 82,798 confirmed cases and 4,632 deaths.

Mossad chief said to allege Iran, numerous Arab states lying about virus stats
[IsraelTimes] Mossad chief Yossi Cohen told health officials during a briefing today that the coronavirus pandemic is more serious in a number of Arab states and Iran than the governments there are acknowledging, Channel 13 news reports.
“In Lebanon, Iraq and Syria there is large morbidity and they’re lying,” the network quotes Cohen as saying. “The number of infected and dead that the Iranians are reporting is also not true. The numbers I’m familiar with are much higher.”
