Some younger healthy people


Even though it's much deadlier than the regular flu, not very many young healthy people die from it. Most of the stories about young people dying seem to include mention of other serious illness, like leukemia, etc.

OK, so that's 150,000,000 x 0.2 x 0.01 = 300,000. About 3.75x the number of flu deaths in 2018.


For Covid-19, this will probably decline in about a year, after the CDC and others review more data and estimate the number of infected who didn't go to the hospital or doctor.
