China News Service, March 25 (Zhang Yilin) On the 25th, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council held a press conference.
Wu Zunyou, chief expert of epidemiology at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that some studies have made a comparative analysis of the case fatality rate and mortality rate of relevant countries in the two time periods from August to October last year and from November to January this year. The case fatality rate did decline during the Rong strain epidemic, but the total number of deaths due to the epidemic during the same period was higher than the delta strain epidemic during the same period.
It can be said that the harm of the Omicron strain is still serious.
This also suggests that the new crown pneumonia is not a "big flu".
