You can't be down 10,000%. The most you can be down is 100%. If you had 100,000 cases last year and 0 this year, you're only down 100%. If you were down by 10,000% there'd be negative 10,000,000 cases this year.
Fuck. You're right, I worded that wrong.
There would need to be 10,000% more cases than there are right now in order to match past flu seasons.
