COVID-19 has a lethality rate of at least 2% Influenza is .1% If COVID-19 infects people at the same rate as the flu (which is looking increasingly possible), 20 times more people will die than do every year from the flu
Also, a far larger number of people will require hospitalization. This will overwhelm our system and and lead to other deaths due to lack of space.
