Coronavirus Epidemic Update 31: Mortality Rate, Cleaning Products, A More/Less Severe Virus Strain?

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update 31 with pulmonologist & critical care specialist Roger Seheult, MD of https://www.MedCram.com

The WHO is now estimating that the mortality rate from the coronavirus epidemic is 3.4% - higher than previously thought. The CDC has released an official list of effective cleaning agents for the novel coronavirus.
