CoVid19 Is 4 Times More Deadly Than The Flu

from Dr. Howard Smith OnCall · host Howard G. Smith MD, AM

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/-V4gZZIgJl0   If you get infected with CoVid19 and show symptoms, you have a 1 in 75 chance of dying from the disease.  Compare that to your 1 in 1000 chance of dying if you contract the flu.   University of Washington researchers analyzed data from 116 counties in 33 states.  The highest fatality rate indicates that 1 in every 28 persons infected will die.  Overall, using the most optimistic estimate that only 1 in every 5 Americans will be infected, by the end of this year 350,000 to 1.2 million of us could die.   We can save ourselves and our families by obeying the 3 Commandments of Public Health: scrub, mask, distance.   https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2020.00455?cookieSet=1   #covid #pandemic #death #distance #mask #wash
