Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins
The current estimate for the fatality rates on the coronavirus just don’t add up. The estimates based on current data are completely inaccurate. Current data shows that this virus is much less deadly that even the common flu from the 2019-2020 season.

I am not certain what point is being made by comparing COVID-19 with the seasonal flu, but it was not the seasonal flu that overwhelmed the Italian healthcare system, it was COVID-19 – so you seem to be missing the point. If you try to address why the COVID-19 virus has a different impact on a country’s health care system than the seasonal flu, then you may be on track.
Hint: Seasonal flu affects a population with varying degrees of immunity (immune systems with antibodies available to fight an infection when exposed, through previous exposures or vaccines) vs. a population with NO immunity.
But I prefer to be more socially responsible, even if it causes inconveniences to me personally, in order to help protect those that are more vulnerable than I personally may be. I try to avoid harming others.

Can you provide any sources?yes you are right. its for many to not see that, that the USA is a union of states, something of what EU is too but not yet fully are. the EU president is for now just someone lurking in the shadows aspiring to come out in the light........Yes, "the flu" is also put in the shadows now because of this new corona virus. corona viruses are said to be much more difficult to handle than "regular" viruses because of its 'corona' which i suppose here mean a though shell like structure, difficult nut to crack ?? thats why it get so much attention.
The statistics in the article are faulty because they either need to divide the number of deaths of individuals CONFIRMED, prior to their death, to have had the seasonal flu (i.e., a fraction of the total deaths), and divide that by the number of confirmed cases. What is typically done is to divide the total deaths by the ESTIMATED total infections. The article’s method is invalid. They are dividing the total deaths by a fraction of the total cases. This is inaccurate statistics! The article is bogus!
