The CDC director says the department's models predict more than 100,000 US Covid-19 deaths by June 1
The coronavirus is nothing like the flu, and continued comparisons are misleading, a senior American Heart Association official said Friday.
“Both diseases spread from person to person through respiratory droplets produced when a sick person coughs or sneezes,” he added. “Available information suggests that SARS-CoV-2 is spreading more efficiently than influenza. It spreads easily and sustainably, meaning that it goes from person to person without stopping.”
“ estimates that 24,000 to 62,000 flu deaths occurred during the 2019-2020 flu season . This is a wide range because flu is not a reportable disease in most areas of the country, and the estimate is derived from a mathematical model based on flu-associated hospitalizations,” he wrote.
