Hong Kong Flu killed 100,000 Americans over the course of a full year. Wuhan Flu has killed 60,000 Americans in six weeks. Do some math.

Sure. When we run the figures, should we account for the fact that US population in 1968 was 205 million and today it is over 330 million or do we just compare numbers and assume that's the same across decades?

80,000 in two months in 2020 would be 50,000 in two months in 1968, population adjusted.

Hong Kong Flu approx 100,000 in twelve months.

Point stands.
