That's a bad flu season which even Fauci 2 weeks ago said This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS,"

And that's before they slashed the numbers tremendously over the last week. Which by the way, the epidemiologist that said 2.2M and then revised it down to a fraction of that was also the one in 2002 who created a model that caused the UK to cull 6 million livestock for foot-and-mouth, unnecessarily.
