Useful information
DEAR EDITOR,
A classmate of mine was kind enough to send me a link to information on the virus which has global figures. Recently a letter writer in the press was commenting on the survival rate and death rate associated with the virus. A lot of the information was incorrect when compared to the global figures and runs the risk of misleading the public. According to Worldometer which is tracking the coronavirus via a global database, there is a 6.5% death rate for those infected if open cases are included. However, for closed cases there is a 21% death rate. I would encourage all those interested to take a look at the data online to avoid anyone misleading you. The database also allows you to search by country. This may prove useful when decisions are being made to open up access to the Guyana. Given the current high death rate it is important that a premature decision isn’t made in relaxing the safety measures currently in place.
Stay safe,
Mr. Jamil Changlee
Chairman
The Cooperative Republicans of Guyana
