Abstract

Severe COVID-19 cases place immediate pressure on hospital resources. To assess this, we analysed survival duration in the first 39 fatal cases in Wuhan, China. Time from onset and hospitalization to death declined rapidly, from ∼40 to 7 days, and ∼25 to 4 days, respectively, in the outbreak's first month.
