Quick question, what are the death rates for the flu vs Covid-19?

It's more deadly than the flu, but it isn't 1.9%. Most are falling in

CSoul

Okay, so let's go with the .5 number, that's more than 2.5 times as dangerous

There are 2.8M deaths annually in the US. Even your 100k from Covid wouldn't be

My reason for frustration is just that we should use proper numbers

It's all right because you have been dealing with more important things
