Paris: Roughly a year into the pandemic it is clear the new coronavirus is worse than seasonal flu, and a study released on Friday outlined just how much worse, showing a death rate almost three times higher among COVID-19 patients. The research, using French national data and published in the journal The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, underscored the increased severity of illness for people with COVID-19. Researchers compared data for 89,530 patients hospitalised with COVID -19 in March and April this year with 45,819 patients hospitalised with seasonal influenza between December 2018 and the ...

Death rate among hospitalised COVID-19 patients was three times higher than seasonal influenza (15,104/89,530 [16.9%] vs influenza 2640/45,819 [5.8%]). More patients with COVID-19 required intensive care (14,585/89,530 [16.3%] vs influenza, 4926/45,819 [10.8%]) and the average stay in ICU with COVID-19 was nearly twice as long (15 days vs ...
