coronavirus - how harmful ?

One of question you may have is that how harmful the coronavirus is.
You may wondering how about comparing the coronavirus to flu virus.
And here is the fact,

 Current coronavirus reported case and deaths in US are (as of March 29th, 2021)
   case   30,085,827
   death    546,704
   rate of death 1.82% (2.27% as of March 28th and 4.09% as of July 13th)
decreased because of better hospital bed/equipment/treatment
daily new case decreasing after the holiday season peak
Still need extra prevention against coronavirus
Coronavirus still active 72 hours on plastic surface and 24 hours on cardboard
Antibody will developped 2 to 3 weeks after vaccination, which means it is not effective 2 to 3 weeks right after the vaccination.
And please aware that even if you got antibody, you still can carry coronavirus.

 2018-2019 flu case and death are (estimated number from CDC website)
   case   35,520,883
   death        34,157
   rate of death 0.096%

 2009 Swine flu (estimated number from CDC website)
   case   60,800,000
   death        12,469
   rate of death 0.02%

One of cause for higher death rate is effective prescription is not availabe, and limited number of vaccination, or not enough people vaccinated as of today, because of newly found virus.
