Coronavirus death rate is lower than previously reported, study says, but it's still deadlier than seasonal flu

Well, which seasonal flu?

Last year's flu -- okay. But the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic was perhaps 10-20 x as deadly here in the US.

Soldiers brought Spanish Flu here. Thats why China said they started the Chinese Flu. Laughable.

I see this touted many times as a comparison, but we need to be careful to understand that 1918 medicine and medical procedures were medieval in comparison to today’s.
