Report just in!

“A study by the Comparative Health Outcomes, Policy and Economics Institute at the University of Washington’s School of Pharmacy, found that 1.3 percent of those who show symptoms of COVID-19 die.

This infection rate is 13 times higher than a bad influenza season.” “This debate can be laid to rest.” according to Anirban Basu, a health economist at the University of Washington.

So yes Roger Rabbit, COVID-19 is deadlier than the flu.
