a 99% survival rate. I'll let you do the math. So far, 11-million have caught COVID-19 in America and about 250,000 died. Last year 36-million caught the flu and 22,000 died. You are right. The flu does not have a 99% survival rate. It killed less than 1%. However, millions of survivors are known to have residual lung, heart, kidney diseases. Some are clinically depressed. Also, in 1983 Dr. Earl Benditt showed that viruses can be the precursor to hardening of the arteries. This pandemic will continue to kill well into the future. Go back and ask whoever told you that 99% lie and ask them about all of these facts. I would love to research their explanations.
