I get a flu shot every year. The Corona Virus is not as deadly as the flu. We don’t cancel marathons during flu season. Getting either the flu or CV would suck. I still go to work during flu season, but I think a lot people like the idea of being quarantined at home.you contribute to disinformation
flu dead rate is 0.1%
CV 2.5-3.0%
about 25 to 30 times more deadly
you go to work during flu season because world is protected with medicaments and vaccines vs flu
otherwise trust me, you wont go out also with flu
please inform yourself before spreading wrong data
I'm still seeing different data, and I think you are mixing rates of population and infected people. There also isn't enough data to accurately estimate how deadly CV is since there have been so few cases compared to the estimated billion people who get the flu each year worldwide.
Here is my source: John Hopkins Medicine summary of Corona Virus v. The Flu: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/...ease-2019-vs-the-flu
Read some history
“The 1918 influenza pandemic was the most severe pandemic in recent history. It was caused by an H1N1 virus with genes of avian origin. Although there is not universal consensus regarding where the virus originated, it spread worldwide during 1918-1919. In the United States, it was first identified in military personnel in spring 1918. It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States.”
