Older age groups and country‑specific case fatality rates of COVID‑19
- The country-specific crude case fatality rates (CFR), the percentage of COVID-19-associated deaths among confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections, have been the subject of much speculation.
- Although it is well known that the CFR of a disease can be biased, many other factors contributing to regional differences throughout the world have been discussed in recent months.
- You can probably forget most of these speculations.

Trump is still receiving remdesivir, famotidine and dexamethasone. All relevant data on these compounds can be found in our COVID Reference book (for dexa, which was added on Saturday to his therapy, see also the WHO statement below). However, the most interesting treatment he has received is 8 g IV of REGN-CoV-2, a pair of two new monoclonal antibodies, named REGN10987 and REGN10933. Here we summarize the data published to date, based on key publications.

The profound physical impairments associated with critical COVID-19 illness are well known. Many patients with severe COVID-19, especially older patients and those with ARDS, will suffer long-term complications from an intensive care unit stay and from the effects of the virus on multiple body systems such has the lung, heart, blood vessels and the CNS. more >>>
