Survival Rate Calculator: Your Chances of Dying from COVID-19 Once Infected

Some regions are relaxing, and others tighten. Football championships mix with temporary outings, cinemas and shopping centers closed, new protocols, acrylic panels, and an incredible amount of alcohol and disinfectant. COVID-19 has completely changed us (perhaps forever), but there are basic questions everyone asks: “What’s my real risk? What are the chances I’ll die if I get infected?” The Survival Rate Calculator from ncov2019.live presents a series of quick calculations on the matter, based on the latest updates.

The most recent report (at the time of this writing) says COVID-19 has killed more than 315,000 people worldwide. Other sources suggest the number is much higher due to failures (accidental or deliberate) in how some countries share their data, but beyond the doubts, everyone talks about a new normal: extreme care, advanced protocols, and information. A lot of information.

Survival Rate Calculator: What Is Your Risk of Death from COVID-19?

With more than 30 million daily visits, the site is one of the main reference points on COVID-19 on the Web. Its creator has rejected million-dollar offers to place advertising there, prioritizing a clean interface, his control over development, and the contacts he has gained along the way. The Survival Rate Calculator is very easy to use: specify your age, gender, and any pre-existing conditions (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, hypertension, and/or cancer).

The first thing the site does is remind you that it offers no “absolute assessment,” and from a certain point of view, it’s not difficult to see its limits. For example, a 39-year-old diabetic man has a 3.29 percent probability of death, but at 40, the hypothetical risk rises to 19.34 percent. In fact, the Survival Rate Calculator is a recent addition to the site, and it will likely receive further adjustments as days go by.

The portal also has global statistics on the disease, a map with information for each country, and a small wiki that serves as an introduction to the virus SARS-CoV-2 and its disease COVID-19. Its updates are frequent, and it definitely deserves a spot in your favorites to check once or twice a day.
