The death rate from the new coronavirus may have been lower than previously believed in Wuhan, China the city where it apparently originated, according to a new study, reports The Wall Street Journal.

The study, published Thursday in the journal Nature Medicine, found that the death rate among people who had symptoms was 1.4% in Wuhan, China, as of Feb. 29.

 Also, notice that this is among people with symptoms, if those without systems were added, the death rate is probably at worst only around 0.7%. We are getting close to an indication that COVID-19 is no more lethal than flu.

The global propaganda machine, the World Health Organization, reported last month that the mortality rate in Wuhan was 5.8%.
