So, how many people out of the tens of millions of cases each year die from “just” the common flu?

Make sure you sanitize your keyboard, Karen. And tighten up your mask on your way to the fainting couch.

Probably not very many. But the Hong Kong flu killed between one and four million around the world in 1968-1969. The Asian flu killed at least a million in 1957. Of course the Spanish Flu of 1918-1920 took about around 50 million. So by equating the Wuhan flu with past outbreaks you’re admitting it’s not really any different.
