0.09% death rate for the regular flu.
0.02% death rate for swine flu.
estimated 2% death rate for COVID19 (current figures higher)

One is deadlier than another... It's basic math. I'm sorry if you cant understand how numbers work. See about getting a refund on the money you spend on your education if you think 0.09% and 0.02% are bigger than 2%.

I'm not saying you need to lose your minds over this. But you guys are completely and utterly wrong in your facts. It's possible to respond to this with a level head without making false claims. Where are you guys getting your facts? The TP you wiped with this morning?
