Yes, Rush is right that the common cold is a form of coronavirus (according to what I’ve read there are four different forms of it), but he’s wrong that the common flu has a 2% fatality rate. It’s more like 1/50 of that, or 0.1 percent. His accuracy score will take a ding on that one.
I was just looking at the cdc page and all I found were deaths per 100,000 which isn’t helpful.
You must have the number infected to determine the death rate of the flu. If you can find the number infected for any given year, then please post a link.
Same with this corona virus. They are just going off the number of confirmed cases and the confirmed deaths. Yet, everyone says that the number of cases is actually much greater and has been assumed to be flu. So, we really don’t have solid numbers with corona, either.
