February 28 said it was more than 20 times worse than flu.
Not anymore. I’m convinced that rate will continue to diminish as more are tested.
Flu kills roughly .1%.
As of yesterday, March 20, Wuhan is down to 1.3% in US. Not being reported that way. It sucks that I have to do my own investigation and reporting.
19,700 cases, 273 deaths. Do the math. The media won’t (can’t).
Also consider that the death rate is still almost exclusive to people with compromised conditions, be it age and/or wellness. Flu is not as discriminatory.

The US has reported 273 coronavirus deaths, and more than 19,700 cases across all 50 states. Here's what we know about the US patients.

Then...Mortality rate
A recent study estimated that the mortality rate from COVID-19 is 2.3 percent, more than 20 times the death rate from the flu.
