Zep you also have to look at what they had to do to stop it also. The death tolls there would still be rising if they didnt take such drastic measures. And yes the flu has killed more but is that a reason not to stop this while we can get ahold of it.
I am not really disagreeing with you RS, but if the flu kills about the same or more than the corona-virus why don't we destroy the economy every year to prevent all those flu deaths?
"CDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2018–2019 season included an estimated 35.5 million people getting sick with influenza, 16.5 million people going to a health care provider for their illness, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths from influenza (Table 1).Jan 8, 2020"
