Abstract

In Italy, the perception of the risks related to COVID-19 may be considerably amplified. In this brief report we initially propose a realistic value for the Case Fatality Rate of COVID-19, obtained by taking into account hidden deaths and infections. Subsequently, the CFR is modified by considering age and comorbidities. In order to concretely weigh up the risks related to COVID-19, we also derive the CFR for smoking, road and domestic accident. A short section is dedicated to the Lombardy anomalous scenario.
