Do you know what the common flu viruses severe and critical percentages are? Is it higher or lower than COVID-19?

“Common Flu” (multiple strains): “The overall cumulative hospitalization rate is 61.6 per 100,000 population”. (Current flu season from the CDC):

Could not find a “per 100k rate of pop.” for the current COVOD-19 strain, but I have read that 5-10% (8%) of COVID-19 cases end up being “serious/critical” requiring hospitalization/intubation/ventilation.

You want the “Ro” calculation according to the experts I'm currently reading. I think you might find that here:

If you seen anything published by John Ray from Australia, who often debunks group think let me know. If John writes it you can bank it.
