Global 28/3/22 (figures up to 26/3/22)


During the last 14 days, global CMR's have mostly been dropping with the global average now at 1.281% compared to 1.331% in the previous period and 2.291% a year ago today.

Case number have increased (mostly across Asia) with 26.472M in this period compared to 22.462M in the previous period with 89,269 deaths in the last 14 days for a lower CMR of 0.337% on an unadjusted basis. That's 11% less deaths than the previous period and the adjusted CMR based on the previous period case numbers is 0.408% but that's far from an exact science.

Note that 'adjusted' CMR uses the case numbers from between 16 and 30 days ago and the mortalities from the last 14 days

Overall the increase in cases numbers was 5.5% but the variance in the number of deaths only 1.45%.
