That's why we took mitigation efforts, and even with those efforts, we've lost 170,000 Americans to it so far.
It is most certainly not deadlier than influenza. Transmission rates count and this bug isn’t NEARLY as contagious as they wanted us to believe. Yes, based on mortality rates, it has a higher probability of killing someone infected. But so far it has infected about 1/10 of the number of people they predicted.
