Yes, you’re right. The amount of deaths from the flu is higher than the amount of deaths from COVID-19. However, the mortality rate of COVID-19 is 3%. The mortality rate of the flu is less than 1%.
Yes, you’re right. More white people are killed by police than black people. However, black people make up 12% of the total American population, yet make up 25% of the people killed by police, meaning the percentage is much, much higher.
