Five percent of those infected have died from the pandemic that has paralyzed the world.The majority — over 663,000 of those infected — are suffering from mild symptoms, and over 143,000 have been cured.While we shouldn’t underestimate the death toll of over 30,000 people so far, amid concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, it is also important to note that the numbers are proportionately encouraging.The disease is usually fatal for elderly patients and those with pre-existing medical conditions. People with cardiac and respiratory issues, and especially, cancer patients are most likely to die due to COVID-19.Although there are cases of healthy people and young people who have died from the virus, they are rare.There have also been older people who have survived, including those over 100 years old.
