WHO: Covid-19 mortality rate more than flu's

The new virus, to which no one has immunity, causes more severe diseases than the seasonal flu, WHO said indicating that more people are susceptible to infection than was estimated and some will suffer severe disease. “Globally about 3.4% of reported Covid-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
