The mortality rate of the flu is an order of magnitude lower than that of COVID 19. The infecticity of the flu is an order of magnitude lower than COVID 19. We have vaccines for the flu. Your comparison is not adding anything to your understanding of this disease, or the fact that China’s pseudo containment took world wide resources, we don’t have to spare for the world.

Further there is no evidence the rate of death is lower outside of China. The rate in Iran is officially reported at 10%, which is clearly an over estimate, and which is hiding a much larger infection. Mortality rates in Europe seem in the same range as in China.

You’ve got community transmission in the US, Europe, the ME, and soon South America and northern Africa...
