“Better to go with deaths per 100,000 population that they use for flu.”
That would be a valid argument but for the fact that flu is endemic to the whole world and this is a new disease that is not - and hopefully never becomes - endemic. So right now it’s as meaningless as frogs per square mile in the Sahara, and not the French-speaking kind.
I’m listening to the president right now on hannity say the same thing. Many cases are so mild they go undetected.
Flu deaths per 100,000 in the usa are about 15.
For corona right now its much <1 per 100,000
