Dear all,
Richard Zander's numbers of deaths are overestimated by two orders of magnitude. He forgot to divide by 100.
New numbers:
That's 300,120 deaths worldwide.
That's 13,160 deaths in USA.
Compared to 34,000 deaths by flu in USA in 2019, flu is more than 2.5 times more deadly than the coronavirus.
I do recommend Corona. It's very refreshing.
Cheers,
