Absolutely. These are variable characteristics across locations, sub-populations, time, etc. Also, use of log scale probably throwing some people off.

I hate log scale. This is also complicated by the flu vaccine, which can alleviate severity of infection even if you contract influenza. But, it is probably accurate to say c.virus is ~5-10x more deadly than influenza strains of the last decade.

Great graph! Thank you for sharing. For lay audiences, though, I’m not sure the log scale is the right choice.
