Abstract
During a disease outbreak, estimation of case fatality rate (CFR) is used as an indication of its severity, and a guide to plan public health strategies. Several factors affect the CFR of COVID-19 leading to false disparities between nations, especially resource poor and fragile nations. Therefore, CFRs of resource poor and fragile nations should be carefully interpreted considering all associated parameters, to serve as a guide in planning public health strategies, and channeling the limited resources and donations appropriately, taking into consideration other equally important healthcare needs in crippled healthcare systems.
