Introduction

The case fatality ratio (CFR), the ratio of deaths from an infectious disease to the number of cases, provides an assessment of virulence (Nishiura et al. 2009).

Methods

We collect data on 169 individuals and…

Results

We found that…

knitr::include_graphics("figures/02-plot_incidence.png")

result <- readr::read_rds(here::here("outputs/03-estimate_cfr.rds"))
result
#>         cfr severity_me severity_lo severity_hi
#> 1     naive   0.4615385   0.3632788   0.5620451
#> 2 corrected   0.4920000   0.3660000   0.6440000

Discussion

Our results show that the corrected CFR is 0.492
