The death rate from seasonal flu is typically around 0.1% in the U.S
If the death rate was for same for CV19 as it is for seasonal flu then only 203 people would have died, not 8141. Let that sink in for a moment to understand why flattening the CV-19 curve by social distancing, business closures and staying at home are so important
