tell me the difference between flu and flu? flu is many viruses. corona is a virus. so please, educate me.
You need to consider all metrics in epidemic analytics. You are only looking at total deaths. You need to factor the number of individuals in the population that are susceptible to the disease, how contagious and how deadly the virus is.
You are trying to do an analysis using addition and subtraction only. You need to use calculus to obtain a correct conclusion. Not, literally but you hear what I am saying.
As I said earlier, this virus is infecting a virgin population, it is relatively highly contagious and 10 times more deadly than the average flu.
