between 300k and 600k die a year from the flu, out of a billion infected each year.
this is expected to reach 3x as many people and it is 20x deadlier, so that's about 50 million dead
it's twenty times more deadly than the seasonal flu, and its far better at spreading (its r0 reproduction value). It's expected to infect up to 60% of earths population in the next two years.
it's not even close to influenza in viral makeup, and experts don't believe the summer will slow down the virus.
don't take my word for it though, read the countless medical journals and opinions available online..
this is a serious threat
