Estimating the Case Fatality Ratio for COVID-19 using a Time-Shifted Distribution Analysis

2020-10-27

Abstract excerpt

Estimating the case fatality ratio (CFR) for COVID-19 is an important aspect of public health. However, calculating CFR accurately is problematic early in a novel disease outbreak, due to uncertainties regarding the time course of disease and difficulties in diagnosis and reporting of cases. In this work, we present a simple method for calculating the case fatality ratio using only public case and death data over...
