Health experts estimate that the coronavirus is at least 10 to 20 times more deadly than the common seasonal flu.
"So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on," Trump tweeted on March 9.
But Trump's tone has changed significantly in recent days. During a White House press briefing last Tuesday, the president said that"a lot of people" had previously compared coronavirus to the flu. Trump said that people had suggested:"Ride it out, don't do anything, just ride it out and think of it as the flu."The overall death rate from the coronavirus remains unclear. As of early Thursday afternoon, there were about 1.
But health experts have noted that there are almost certainly many cases of coronavirus that have gone uncounted. Some individuals never show any symptoms, despite having contracted the virus. Additionally, a large number of individuals only experience mild symptoms. These people may never get tested and may not even be aware that they could have the coronavirus.
The death rate has also appeared to vary between countries. Analysts have noted that this could be due to a lack of testing. Many countries have struggled to adequately test their populations, meaning that often only the sickest patients get tested and are confirmed to have the virus. There could be a large number of sick individuals with mild cases that have been left uncounted in official totals.
