Evidence from populations where almost 100% have been tested, like on the cruise ship Diamond Princess, seem to indicate that the death rate is at least 0.5% which is five times more deadly than the flu.
And, of course, almost half of the US population takes flu shots to protect them, so even if the death rate is the same Covid-19 would be twice as deadly because their is no vaccine to protect half the population.
Simple Math
Have you seen the death rates for healthy people under 65? How many people were 65 and older on that cruise ship with an underlying condition that dies?
Did we get better at treating the virus after initial shock of it?
Just look at our numbers and CDC says 10X number of reported cases based on their research have already had it. Cases going up while deaths coming down, that is a great news, not bad news. Clermont County in Ohio has not had a death since June 5th. They have had 6 deaths from China Flu and had 134 from the common flu.
Restaurants open, kids playing basketball indoors, baseball and soccer. Again, all good news as new cases don't appear to be life threatening as they were prior to knowing who we need to protect (older people and those with underlying health conditions)
