Researchers Richard Grewelle and Giulio De Leo's estimate sits at the top of the range of various calculations from recent scientific papers, ranging from 0.1 - the same as the flu - to now 1.04 per cent.The Stanford University team, based in California, were able to estimate the coronavirus death rate through using a complex algorithm based on the number of people testing positive in 139 countries around the world.

They said that the rate was somewhere between 0.77 per cent and 1.38 per cent, with 1.04 their accepted mid-point. "Provided testing has prioritised people at highest risk of Sars-CoV-2 infection, the metric of relative testing capacity used in our approach should reflect each country’s ability to accurately estimate the true IFR."
