408,449 people have tested positive for Coronavirus in Mexico as of Wednesday, July 29th. There have been 45,361 confirmed Covid-19 deaths. Those figures yield a fatality rate of 11.1 per 100 cases, meaning that one in every nine people diagnosed with Covid-19 dies.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Based on data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, the global rate is 3.9. The data shows that more than 17.1 million people around the world have tested positive for Covid-19 and almost 670,000 people have died.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
However, an infectious disease specialist at Johns Hopkins estimated the real fatality rate as 0.6 considering that many cases go undetected. If that rate is applied to Mexico\u2019s official Covid-19 death numbers, total case numbers here would total about 7.1 million.<\/p>\n

Mexico’s testing rate is considerably low. \u00a0Meaning a large numbers of cases, especially mild and asymptomatic ones, go undetected.<\/p>\n
