CFR lower in 2nd wave, but no time to be complacent: Experts
The Hindu
They anticipate rise in absolute numbers in the coming days
Even though the Case Fatality Rate (CFR) in the second wave of COVID-19 in Karnataka has remained lower than the first, experts are anticipating a rise in absolute numbers in the coming days. Monthly data suggests that the CFR – proportion of deaths out of the total individuals testing positive – has remained lower in the second wave so far. While the second wave has seen a sharp rise in positive cases, particularly this April when 5.26 lakh cases were reported, the number of deaths for the month were 2,956. This is lower than the 3,388 reported in August, 2020 and also resulted in a lower CFR for this April [0.56%] compared to August 2020 [1.55%].
