EDMONTON There is mounting evidence to show that COVID-19 causes more serious outcomes than seasonal influenza, resulting in a much higher death rate among hospitalized patients. A newly published study based on French national data comparing patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 to those admitted with seasonal influenza shows a greater proportion of COVID-19 patients experience severe illness requiring intensive care, with a death rate nearly three times higher. The study compared data from 89,530 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 between March and April with data from 45,819 patients hospitalized with seasonal influenza between December 2018 and February 2019. According to the data, 16.3 per cent of COVID-19 patients were admitted to intensive care, compared to 10.8 per cent of flu patients. The average stay in the ICU with COVID-19 was nearly twice as long at 15 days, versus eight days for those with the flu. ....
