A death rate of 10% of people that were known to have the flu and were severely impacted, needed medical help, is not surprising. The estimated flu death rate of 0.1% is based on decades of data. It's too bad the dumbass at WHO can't understand that any statistic can be used to emotionally sway people to act in certain ways.

If people want to play with the calculator https://percentagecalculator.pro
I plan for an average of 2% death rate
Whatever the death rate, it's all about the percentage of the population that gets infected over a year/given period of time
If it's 40% of the pop infected with a 2% death rate, over a one year period you have a 2 million dead problem for a population the size of the US
