2020
Dr KK Aggarwal
President CMAAO, HCFI and Past National President IMA
The coronavirus COVID-19
is affecting 170 countries and territories around the world
and 1 international conveyance (the Diamond
Princess cruise ship harbored in Yokohama, Japan). The day is
reset after midnight GMT+0. The "New" columns for China display
the previous day changes (as China reports after the day is over). For all
other countries, the "New" columns display the changes for the
current day while still in progress.

2. Early data analyzed by CDC shows that younger Americans are at
substantial risk of experiencing serious medical problems from the coronavirus
sweeping the globe. That data runs counter to some of the early messaging from
public health officials in other parts of the world.
A new CDC analysis of more than 2,400 cases
of COVID-19 that have occurred in the United States in the last month shows
that at least 1 in 7 and perhaps as many as 1 in 5 people
between the ages of 20 and 44 who contract the virus require hospitalization, a
level exponentially higher than the hospitalization rates for influenza. Between 2 percent and 4 percent of people that young
are admitted to intensive care units. The fatality rate is low, only 0.1
percent to 0.2 percent, but is about two times higher than a bad flu season.
