Thank you. Question: Is COVID really 10x more lethal than the flu? Recent stats suggest that's an exaggeration. There's would be 300K to 800K dead in the US already. Isn't it more accurate to say 3-5x as bad--serious but not catastrophic?

30K - 80K die from the flu, with about 65M infected in an average year. Current estimates are 50M have been infected w/COVID, or 3/4 of the flu total. So, if it is 10x worse, we'd be at 225K - 600K dead. So, I guess 10X worse than a weak flu.

Global death toll is 1.4M from 60M detected cases https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
