covid v flu question for poster

[blazers]

@gdean44 , you said "Again, this virus IS VERY serious, but it's also far less deadly than flu, pneumonia, etc"

Rather than derail the original thread on the football board, i figured i'd create this new one.

What's your source for your statement?

CDC

I think you already took care of that.

Aren't both threads about the same thing? Are there two viruses?

@gdean44
What is the CDC saying as far as fatalities?

1. NYC has 8632 confirmed deaths
It's 8.4 million total population

2. So if everyone in NYC had it, that's a fatality rate of 0.1 percent.

3. Season flu is fatality rate 0.1.

So if 100% of NYC is infected, then they're equally fatal. But infection rate in NYC is tween 5% and 25% based on tests (some hotspots show 15%... hence people guessing it could be up to 25%, though not likely)

Even in non-crowded NC Covid-19 is the 3rd highest DAILY killer behind cancer and heart stuff, per the NCHHS. Far outpacing seasonal flu and peumonia.

Probably could have just put this in the corona thread though.
