R0=3.8 - 2019NCOV TO BE DETERMINED

R0=1.8 - Spanish flu killed 675,000 in the US ... 50,000,000-100,000,000 world wide.

R0=1.5 - Swine flu: It is estimated that 11–21% of the global population contracted the illness, and 151,000–579,000 died

I’m curious, those deaths worldwide numbers have an awfully big range, can you explain why that is?

I remember reading about the Spanish Flu that healthy adults would wake up fine in the AM and be dead by nightfall. Which is pretty scary.

I also remember reading in Hillary Mantel’s book about Thomas Cromwell how his wife died of “the Sweat”. Again, healthy people, dead in a day. I looked it up, but nobody seems to know what it was, maybe a form of hantavirus.

And what do you think the numbers are for the run of the mill flu? there are millions of cases and thousands of swaths worldwide every year.

While this spreads 8 times faster than spanish flu, it is 8 times less dangerous.

Spanish flu 20% mortality

Kung flu 3% mortality (by the REPORTED numbers I’m seeing)
