It makes some sicker than the flu. One thing that bothers me is the lack of reporting on recoveries. I checked tonight and only a handful of states are providing those numbers. Not trying to minimize things here but, we’re only getting half the data
I think this whole focus on mortality rates is misguided.
Yes, on the whole, CoVid is not a very lethal virus, unlike say Ebola or Zika. But it makes you a hell of a lot sicker than the Flu as well, and the complications, from stroke, to reduced lung capacity can be pretty nasty, even if you survive.
And I would add it's a lot more contagious than the Flu. A virus that's highly contagious but with a low mortality rate is more deadly than one that's not very contagious but with a high mortality rate.
