The global death toll from the virus is at 2,009 as of Tuesday evening. All but a handful of global virus-related deaths have been in mainland China.
Published 10:09 PM EST Feb 18, 2020
Liu Zhiming, president of Wuhan Wuchang Hospital in Hubei province, died of coronavirus-related pneumonia, China Daily reported. The hospital, one of the seven designated for the epidemic in Wuhan, treated thousands of people a day. Still, the coronavirus death rate is far below that of severe acute respiratory syndrome – SARS – a coronavirus that swept across China almost two decades ago. The SARS death rate was almost 10%, although fewer than 10,000 SARS cases were ever confirmed.
"Now we are going out and looking for less-sick people," Ryan said."Our hope is that as we find more and more milder cases, that the overall mortality rate will be less."
