    I mean, that’s one way to look at it. I looked at it as only a couple percent higher death rate than the flu. Either way, a little less than 2x is way better than like 5x worse.

      Obviously it’s better than before, but it’s also worth keeping in mind these deaths are in addition to the flu.

      Also, there are good and bad flu seasons. I see no reason for COVID to not be the same.
