In China, the case fatality rate for COVID-19 was 8% in patients aged 70-79 years and around 15% in those over 80 years.
“This is in contrast to the CFR of 8% in patients aged 70–79 years and around 15% in those aged over 80 years in China [7].”
The case fatality rate for COVID-19 in patients younger than 70 years was reported as 0.3-3.5%.
“The case fatality rates (CFR) in patients aged less than 70 years were reported as 0.3–3.5% [7,8].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
