This is getting ridiculous, let's compare the two types of the common yearly flu deaths/cases. COVID-19 is not even close to the common flu. This sounds more like a reason by certain news owning conglomerates to force a sell-off in global markets without a recession. I'm not claiming "fake news", it's real, but it's being way overblown.
I'm just not buying into this. I think people should fear the influenza strains much more.
"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."
