80,000 dead from flu in 2017.
1300 dead from COVID-19 this year.

It’s almost April, isn’t it?

From the article; If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%)

80,000 / 365 = 219 deaths per day flu
1307 / 30 (~days) = 44 deaths per day

that’s different. The guy who was president then, his mom married a black guy, so it’s all good. I have no idea why that makes a difference but apparently it does.
