There should be NO comparison to the Flu!

Excerpt:

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden...-estimates.htm

The cumulative burden of influenza is an estimate of the number of people who have been sick, seen a healthcare provider, been hospitalized, or died as a result of influenza since October 01, 2018. CDC does not know the exact number of people who have been sick and affected by influenza because influenza is not a reportable disease in most areas of the United States. However, these numbers are estimated using a mathematical model, based on observed rates of laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations.

If they use that modeling for the Corona Virus it would be at least ten times more for Covid-19, like tens of millions dying.

It would be like the model the Intelligence Committee got back in January, which made most of them sell all their Millions of dollars in stock before it became known.

The rate of infections is logarithmic.
From '5' when it's under control to over 120,000 cases now. (still under control ). These become 240,000 in couple days to 480,000, then 960,000, etc in week or so. (if no following the medical rules, 6' apart, unnecessary interactions,etc)

These are documented actual cases not estimates based on a mathematical formula on estimates like the flu cases.

It's the lackadaisical attitudes of many who think its not a problem so don't do anything to keep from spreading it around.
Without massive testing to determine where the people are with it, it will keep on spreading.
