Garden Rose, Fact check yours - COVID Far More Lethal Than Flu, Data Shows
By Robert Preidt Health Day Reporter
FRIDAY, Dec. 18, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- COVID-19 is far more harmful and deadly than the seasonal flu, new studies confirm.
Researchers analyzed U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs data on more than 3,600 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 between Feb. 1 and June 17 of this year, and more than 12,600 hospitalized with the flu between Jan. 1, 2017 and Dec. 31, 2019. The average age of patients in both groups was 69.
The death rate among COVID-19 patients was 18.5%, while it was 5.3% for those with the flu. Those with COVID were nearly five times more likely to die than flu patients, according to the study published online Dec. 15 in the BMJ.
On the evidence your "It's plain stupid to mandate anything for an illness where there is a more than 99% recovery. Don't you think its stupid? If that's the rule we'll have to be vaxed for the flu and cold cuz it's survivability rate is about the same." appears to be wrong.
Over 600,000 Americans dead from covid. Probably at least a third might have been saved if y'all had taken a more serious approach to it from the beginning. As Australia and other countries did.
