I'll apologize up front if this has already been asked, but has there been a decrease in flu related deaths since the outbreak hit? I guess what i'm asking is, are the coronavirus cases taking the place of what would have been flu cases in some people? Is the hospitalization rate and death rate of the flu down or is it comparable to what it has been?

Where did you hear that? Not true according to these numbers. For example Germany's mortality rate is 1/3 of South Korea's.

@GunnerShotgun
The fatality reports are from those confirmed by testing.
There are not people randomly dying from the illness who are not being tested.
The only number that is accurate in the math you so strongly want to point out is the number of deaths.
And those tested infected who are alive and recovered.
There are likely thousands more who are infected and are not being counted.
Which means the fatality rate could be considerably lower.
Your viewpoint without logic is why people need to think it through and not react to hype.

The math simply suggests that even when you consider the outliers and assume a range for the case fatality rate that the testing in the U.S. has been sufficient.

The only way we could determine whether the subset of infected patients used in the US to determine death rate was representative of the statistics of the entire infected population is if somewhere a large number of people were tested at random, the negatives were thrown out and then the results from the rest were used to determine the probability of death. We could then compare the resulting statistics to those given for the subset used in the US.Viewpoint without logic?

The only thing that we can determine by seeing that the US has similar rates to other countries is that the subsets in each of those countries have similar statistical properties as the subset in the US (if you don't account for quality of care, etc).
Germany is also not citing the virus as a cause of death if any there are any pre-existing ailments. Due to the fact that the virus is primarily kill people with underlying health conditions, their reported deaths due to the virus are very low.Where did you hear that? Not true according to these numbers. For example Germany's mortality rate is 1/3 of South Korea's.

Either I do not understand the meaning of the words you are using, or you do not understand the meaning of the words I am using.
Regardless of which of these is the case, there is little point in me engaging in this topic further with you.
