my second bet is that once this passes, the weekly fatality stats will be well below average for at least 6 months. This has just wiped out the unfortunately Ill and aged. And the Ill + aged.
I'm getting quite bored of going around and finding myself having to point out the infection rate of COVID 19 in the general population, amongst other things. If you want some actual science check out the following:

For what it's worth, medical professionals all over the world generally don't call for the world to be shut down over flu. In one city with a decent spread of COVID before going in to lockdown (NYC) more than 19,000 are already dead and the hospitals just about ran out of capacity. I politely suggest you all go speak to any medic there (several of my family are) and ask them how closely COVID resembles flu. I'd wager they're more qualified to talk about it than anyone on an aviation forum.
