“Right now, the number of COVID-19 cases pales in comparison to the number of flu cases.”
True.
The problem is that the flu has .01% death rate and Covid19 has a 2.0% death rate. Thus, if 80,000,000 people get the flu, then 80,000 will die. If 80,000,000 get the Covid19, then 1,600,000 people will die.
Covid19 is 200 times more deadly than the flu.
Excessive reactions to the Covid19, such as cancelling baseball games and college classes, is reasonable. Seems silly but it is still reasonable. Got to nip it in the bud.
Trump is doing all the right things.
“Covid19 has a 2.0% death rate.”
After researching the excellent links on the thread, I wish to change:
Covid19 has a 1.0% death rate. Much better number.
