H1N1 had a 0.02% mortality rate. Flu is 0.1%. Right now, 3499 cases, 63 deaths, 1.8% What does “ten times more lethal” mean? — the math is simple. If 40 million Americans get the seasonal flu, a 0.1 percent fatality rate means 40,000 deaths. If 40 million Americans get the new coronavirus, a 1 percent fatality rate means 400,000 deaths. So the difference between a 0.1 percent and a 1.0 percent fatality rate could be 360,000 dead Americans. nationalreview.com
