When you say ' Covid would have to reach 200K for Covid to compare' -> you mean based on population increase I assume?
What Internet? I linked to my sources:
1957-1958 Pandemic (H2N2 virus)... The estimated number of deaths was 1.1 million worldwide and 116,000 in the United States. (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/1957-1958-pandemic.html)
When you say ' Covid would have to reach 200K for Covid to compare' -> you mean based on population increase I assume?
Yes, meaning as a percentage, which is what is more revealing, not simply totals.
