Ok.... so according to the US CDC...
"CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010"

I assume that even the most conspiratorial member on this forum can accept the findings of the Center for Disease Control? Anyway, using the top and bottom numbers as listed above, the mortality rate of the flu in general in the US is between 0.13% and 0.68%
So I am not crazy!!! I think people reading/listening to the news don't understand decimal places. I heard a Harvard Virologist on CNN about a month ago say these exact same things, but people seem to miss the difference between "point 2 percent" and "2 percent"!
Taking the lower end of the range as example, the coronavirus is up to 15x more deadly.... now, THAT makes sense to me withe regard to how governments are reacting etc
