Coronavirus fatality rate 15+ times the flu

The previous weekend while Leo chatted with Mr, Jet, the coronavirus risk was likened to the flu. But I don’t think that was correct.

It looks like 2% is a conservative estimate.

Whereas last decade in the US the flu resulted in up to 61K deaths in up to 45M who get it, which is 0.14%.

Good not to worry people but also good to not minimize the risk.
