Worldwide, the WHO estimates 1,040,000 (rounded) have died from COVID.
So, let’s do the math:
1.04 million deaths / 750 million infections = 0.1386 percent infection fatality rate.
According to the CDC, in the 2017-2018 flu season, the seasonal flu had a mortality rate ranging from 0.129 percent to 0.1355 percent.
So, while this isn’t exactly news we haven’t heard before, it’s a huge deal that the World Health Organization, by their own “best guess” scenario, has essentially admitted that COVID-19 has a comparable mortality rate to the seasonal flu.
And that’s before you even consider the possibility that COVID-19 deaths have been overcounted, or consider that the seasonal flu has a vaccine.
