Public health expert warns coronavirus ‘could kill 60 million people worldwide’
A leading public health expert who spearheaded the fight against SARS has warned that up to 60 per cent of the world’s population could become infected by the new coronavirus.
Professor Gabriel Leung, chair of public health medicine at Hong Kong University, is an expert on coronavirus epidemics and played a key role during the SARS outbreak in 2002 and 2003.
Mr Leung warned that COVID-19 is “certainly more infective (than SARS), and it’s also very difficult to try to control it”.
“The big unknown now is really how big is the iceberg,” he said.
There have now been more than 106,000 confirmed cases globally and nearly 3600 deaths since the start of the outbreak in December, a mortality rate of around 3.4 per cent.
“I don’t know, but I’m suspecting that (there are many more people infected),” he said.
“Everybody is susceptible, eventually you will see 40, 50, 60 per cent of the population get infected.”
