Abstract
Variants of Severe-Acute-Respiratory-Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)
has caused tremendous impact globally. It has been widely reported that
the Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant is less deadly than the Delta
(B.1.617.2) variant, presumably due to immunity from vaccination and
previous infection. When measuring the severity of a variant,
Case-Fatality-Rate (CFR) is often estimated. The purpose of this work is
to calculate the change in CFR of different variants over time from a
large number of countries/regions since the start of the pandemic in
2020.
