It makes sense that the fatalities shoot up when the cases increase. In the US a 35 year old man got pneumonia from it and recovered in intensive care. Imagine for a moment that you fall ill, get pneumonia, but the hospital is full. Suddenly your prognosis goes from an uncomfortable yet safe recovery to oh shit I might die.
Pretty much any condition, disease or accident will have their mortality rate increased, due the overwhelmed medical system.
In a city of 11 million the flu alone would have killed about 2000 (using US statistic) before the new virus.
I'm afraid that everything will just add up.
I think it should be stressed more that now the area most affected the new virus is not the only problem.
