Interesting timing, CNN is arguing that you can’t compare viruses:

The US death toll from coronavirus this year has exceeded 62,000, surpassing the high-end estimate for flu deaths since October. And coronavirus has killed at a much faster rate than the flu, claiming all those lives in just three months.

Here are several reasons why coronavirus is more dangerous than the flu – and why extra precautions are needed:

Coronavirus is much more contagious than the flu

Coronavirus has killed at a much faster rate

Coronavirus can be spread for many days without symptoms

You can get a flu vaccine but not a coronavirus vaccine

>Experts say the number of flu deaths could be drastically reduced if more people got flu shots. Even if you get a flu vaccine and later catch the flu, the symptoms are usually less severe.

>Yet about half of Americans don't get vaccinated, including most children who die from the flu.
