US flu mortality rate Oct 2019-Feb 2020...12K
World Corvid-19 mortality rate Feb 2020 11,398.
Global flu mortality rate Feb 2020 250K-500K.
First -Italy as % of world population 60mm/7,900mm =.75%.
Second - you state “Global Flu Mortality Feb 2020 250k-500k”
That is the total deaths FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR NOT JUST FEBRUARY
Italy presumed share of flu deaths FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR.
250,000 * .75% = 1898
500,000 * .75% = 3797
So in Italy there have been more deaths in the last 12 days from Covid19 than the HIGH ESTIMATE FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR of the seasonal flu.
Put that in “perspective”.
