You don't get to pilpul your way out of this. A very deadly disease has a high mortality rate, it's very virulent. Ebola is one of them.
A very transmissible disease spreads easily and fast. The flu is one of them.
You know something funny? The flu has about the same mortality rate for 75 and older.
Are you saying the flu has an 'extremely high' mortality rate?
Covid is higher than flu lol

The flu kills plenty of frail people.
I never said it didn’t. But covid has a higher mortality rate.
Covid is killing a lot of people that aren’t frail.
The flu does not have a 20 or 30 percent fatality rate for people over 75. Ridiculous.
You know what explains all the data? That covid is way more fatal than the flu for everyone over 35 or so.
But keep reading yourself fairytales from zero hedge or whatever.

Nice strawman!

The more I debated with them the more familiar I became with their argumentative tactics. At the outset they counted upon the stupidity of their opponents, but when they got so entangled that they could not find a way out they played the trick of acting as innocent simpletons. Should they fail, in spite of their tricks of logic, they acted as if they could not understand the counter arguments and bolted away to another field of discussion. They would lay down truisms and platitudes; and, if you accepted these, then they were applied to other problems and matters of an essentially different nature from the original theme. If you faced them with this point they would escape again, and you could not bring them to make any precise statement. Whenever one tried to get a firm grip on any of these apostles one's hand grasped only jelly and slime which slipped through the fingers and combined again into a solid mass a moment afterwards. If your adversary felt forced to give in to your argument, on account of the observers present, and if you then thought that at last you had gained ground, a surprise was in store for you on the following day. The Jew would be utterly oblivious to what had happened the day before, and he would start once again by repeating his former absurdities, as if nothing had happened.
We are discussing covid fatality. I hardly see why covid fatality data is a strawman in that discussion

You really love drama don’t you? Its irrelavant. Bring the facts, bring the data— this “you’re a jew” bullshit is just a distraction. Quit hyperventilating and show how flu is more deadly or about as deadly as covid, if you can.
Neither does covid you imbecile. Show me the stats where covid has a 20-30% fatality rate. Even in the wildly skewed stats the cdc released its not more than 7-10.
