There are probably hundreds if not thousands of undetected Covid cases. Many people probably think they have a cold. I'd pump the brakes on the more fatal narrative.
Wouldn't that same logic also apply to the flu?
I think it's less fatal than we think but still far more fatal than the flu.
I mean the fact that "think" even has to be used as a qualifier here shows how ridiculous the politicization of medicine is getting. COVID19 is objectively deadlier than the flu. Somewhere in the ballpark of 20x so.
The great unknown was and remains how much this thing spreads. Right now the denominator is nowhere near that of the flu. LIFPO.

Which actually makes the threat of spread that much more severe. The harder it is to detect and quarantine, the harder it is to contain.
Mortality rate of corona virus is actually much higher than the flu. Also no shot to prevent or mitigate its effects. If as many people get this virus in the US as they do the flu there will be many more deaths.
No....it's not. The Mortality Rate is based on total population. There's been, what, one death in the US from coronavirus - the flu still has a way higher mortality rate.

Mortality Rate = Total Deaths to Disease/Population
Case Fatality Rate = Total Deaths to Disease/Total Diagnosed with the disease
I don't think anyone is arguing with you regarding the definitions at this point.
Fuck off still.
Sore throat spray for the Corona virus. Use 3 sprays as often as needed.
