i think that the common flu can't be that deadly. i don't know anyone who died from it... even if it's not 0.1, can't be too much. i calculated 3.8 for covid, but mers is 34, ebola varies between 25 and 90% !

Deaths occur an average of two weeks after first symptoms, so when deaths are divided the lower number of infections two weeks ago, the fatality rate goes up to about 5.7%.
