Very simple:
You’ve been listening to Rush Limbaugh.
That’s how you came up with this, “also a larger mortality percentage so what’s the reason for all of the panic wrought by this virus”.
So these are the real facts about the Coronavirus’s mortality percentage in comparison to the Flu. Coronavirus kills about 2% of recognized cases, that’s about 1 in 50. factoring in the unidentified cases it’s probably more like 1 in 75.
Flu is more like .05% mortality rate. (about 1 in 1500)
So 1.50% is a higher rate than .05%.
I don’t know about inflection rates. i also don’t know where Rush Limbaugh got his numbers from.
