its insulting almost that they will cancel it over coronavirus. add like 5 zeros to illness totals and death totals and you have the influenza numbers. nothing gets cancelled for the flu

Too busy fighting climate change, but failing on all fronts nonetheless.

Except the coronavirus has proven to be almost more contagious and far more deadly than the common flu.

0.1% mortality
2% mortality

In 20 million infected that’s a kill rate difference of:
20,000 deaths
400,000 deaths


But keep on thinking the flu is worse.



E/ another way to look at it, coronavirus will kill the same amount as the flu does if the flu infected only 20,000,000 people (20,000 dead) and the coronavirus infected 1,000,000 (20,000 dead)

Staggering difference

I don't think experts have been able to demonstrate yet that the coronavirus is objectively deadlier than the seasonal flu. Lethality comes from death rates comparisons, which are entirely from epidemiology. There are robust estimates of people who contract the seasonal flu but never seek medical treatment (who make up the vast majority of cases), but not for coronavirus, so they rely entirely on self-reported cases.

Of course, no one wants to risk that the recent outbreak is as deadly as SARS was because by the time scientists can find out for sure it would be too late.

Covid-19 has already killed more than 3x more people than the SARS did. SARS had a higher fatality rate though, you're right about that.

One thing to take into consideration is the amount of people who don't die but required hospitalization anyway. If there's a major outbreak here in Canada our health system is not built to have ghat many patient.
