I get the defense based on pure number of those who died from the flu. But infection-to-death rates tell a different story.
>>> But infection-to-death rates tell a different story. <<<
We know the US death numerator, but not the US death denominator. China data is unreliable along with other hot spots like Italy.
Yeah, because there isn’t nearly enough data to accurately obtain the amount of infections for COVID-19. Many do not even manifest symptoms. With the flu, you do.
How many people got the virus, had a cold for a few days and got better?
It doesn’t kill everyone and it has similar symptoms as the flu.
We could be looking at 100K infection rate but only have a few hundred of the most severe cases and a dozen deaths.
The Cornyvirus is more shock and awe than anything
the Obama Flu H1N1 killed 525,000 world wide and 11,000 here in the United States, and nobody blamed Obama for it.
Absolutely false. That is the latest lie. On the infections disease scale Coronavirus is a 2.
Here the REAL data not the lying with misleading statistics
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
111,000 cases, 101,000 minor or recovered 3500 deaths
Really sick the lying scum in the Fake News keep manufacture misleading statics to keep fear mongering.
Infection to death is also misleading. The proper term is infected to death.
So -what’s worse - a virus that infects tens of millions every year and has a .1% death rate or a bug that infects a few hundred thousand and has a 5% death rate?
After over 3 months of being in the wild, Coronavirus has infected 1/300th worldwide as the Flu has in the US alone.
