Coronavirus has infected, at least, 742,459 people in the United States. That means it has a death rate of over 5%, which is more than 50 times the flu if its current death rate holds.
So your source claims a 5% death rate from this Wuhan virus?
The Stanford study says it is well under 1%
Further, the CDC says that in the 2019-2020 flu season, between 24,000 and 62,000 Americans have died of influenza.
Final estimates for this flu season include:
-- 24,000 – 62,000 deaths
-- 39,000,000 – 56,000,000 flu illnesses
-- 410,000 – 740,000 hospitalizations
That is a helluva wide range on flu deaths. I wonder how the CDC will explain THAT one.
AND, over the past 20 years, the flu has AVERAGED 60,000 deaths Imagine that
