If you look up the R-naught value of the common flu it is about 1.3 and the R-naught of Corvid-19 was at the lowest number I could find above 2. At 1.3 the common flu would infect around 14 people after 10 cycles of contact. Covid-19 at 2 with the same cycles of contact is 1024. Then throw in the fact that there is no "herd Immunity" for Covid-19 and you have a way more contagious flu.

Stewart,

I see that the CDC said they saw median numbers for R0 for COVID-19 at 5.7.

I would think that just by observation one would notice that COVID-19 is more contagious and more deadly than the seasonal flu.

Respectfully,
Bill

The flu season lasts approximately 6 months and it kills about 50,000 people per year in the U.S. Covid-19 has killed close to 55,000 people in a little over 6 weeks! It's like comparing apples and oranges!

Interesting how you did not post the next paragraph in that article.

The COVID-19 situation is changing rapidly. Since this disease is caused by a new virus, people do not have immunity to it, and a vaccine may be many months away. Doctors and scientists are working on estimating the mortality rate of COVID-19, but at present, it is thought to be higher than that of most strains of the flu.

And if you have one of those Republican Governors you may not be living by the end of this year. There would be thousands more Covid 19 deaths without the stay at home orders by competent Govenors.
