Cuticrusader09 06/23/21 6:31:37 AM #40:	Serious Cat posted... Statistically, COVID is more deadly by far. A "survival rate" of 98% means it kills 1 in 50 who catch it. Flu is around a 99.9% survival rate, meaning 1 in 1000. But the deaths are not evenly distributed across ages. Most deaths are for older people. If you are under 50, very little chance you will die if it. Over 85, youll probably die, but you are already over the life expectancy for people in the US so you may have ended up dying of natural causes soon anyway. --- AC - Violet on Penny.
