The explicit comparison to the flu doesn't really seem to hold, since the conditions applied to the infected aren't equal. If those carrying the flu were subject to the same conditions as those carrying this covid-19, the comparison would hold up a lot better. > I illustrated it as a place in which there is so much mass testing that the mortality figures are more fact than fiction. Mortality numbers as a % of tested peoples are hugely variable due to the differences in testing between nations. Mortality numbers as a % of the population (deaths per 100k/1m) make for good comparisons, and unless the nation is engaging in outright deception, those numbers are reasonable to use as a comparison. According to https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality the USA has 52.52 deaths per 100k. In line with your previous, Qatar has 6.94 deaths per 100k. 10x more people have died in the USA vs in Qatar. What's going on?
