lol, I don't know how 'flu' is defined but the covid mortality rate is .02% world wide, what does that make it?
The Spanish Flu was 2.5% but that is considered way under estimated
Hong Kong Flu was around 0.5%
Seasonal Flu is 0.01%
So, I guess it depends on what you are calling a Flu.
Like I said, confirmation bias.
It's a really simple question, why blame the provinces and not the states?
