THEORY: The mortality rate will fall below the flu as soon as they stop testing dead people who died from natural causes. Many died with the virus, not because of it. Ever wonder why the mortality rate is so high with people over 80 years old? It's called old age! The reason why it affects old men more is because women live longer. This explains why NY and Italy have higher mortality rates, because they are testing their dead.
I challenge someone to prove me wrong or prove me right.
NY and Italy have higher rates because when they heard about a contagious virus they ran around hugging people to prove they're not racist. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
