TL;DR: A new methodology, Patient Information Based Algorithm (PIBA) has been adapted to process the data and used to estimate the death rate of COVID-19 in real-time, and the trendline of these death rate curves meet the curve of current ratio between accumulative death cases and confirmed cases at some points in the near future.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors performed a cross-sectional study on data of turning points for cases and deaths for the first three waves of COVID-19 in countries with more than 5000 cumulative cases, as reported by Worldometers and WHO Coronavirus Dashboard.
