Re: “What’s the mortality rate?”

So far, less than the influenza fatality rate in 2018.

Texas - 2018 - Influenza Fatalities - 3,516

Texas - 2020 - COVID-19 Fatalities - 2,778

No one ever said a word about the influenza holocaust in 2018.

Actually, if Texas counted influenza deaths the same way they count COVID-19 deaths, the influenza death toll would have been at least 10,000 in 2018.

Bottom Line...

Protect the elderly and the infirm.

For the rest of us, COVID-19 at its worst is just a severe common cold.
