The COVID-19 mortality for the County of Los Angeles as of April 20, 2020 is 661, clearly within the margins of previous years.

Wait. Are you comparing a little over a month to an entire flu season? If the current total is 661 after about a month, will it be six times that over a similar period as the flu season?

Latest study from LA cases. The study suggests that 0.1 percent to 0.2 percent of people infected by the virus will die, which would make COVID-19 only somewhat more deadly than the seasonal flu.

According to the Report, the death rates are per year, not per season.

See: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CHSI/CDPH%20Document%20Library/CHSP-LOSANGELES.pdf

The mortality for COVID is 661 for the year, almost 4 months.

Notably, the mortality rates for cancers, alzheimer’s disease, coronary heart disease, strokes, lower respiratory disease, and diabetes all exceed those rates in Los Angeles County.

Unless I’m not looking at the numbers right.
