I don't know where you got that CDC number, but at this time there are over 140,000 deaths and over 4,000,000 confirmed cases. That makes the mortality rate at least 3.5% - not .65%. It's easy math 140,000 / 4,000,000. Besides the flu doesn't invade your brain, your blood system and other organs as the NYC pathologists have seen in their autopsies. So the coronavirus is helluva lot more dangerous than the flu - notwithstanding that we don't know what long-term effects will occur in people who were seriously sick and survived.
