100% more deadly!
haha true haha
That's exactly what ends up in the media. Anytime they give a percentage you need to know the numbers it comes from. 0.00002 is 100% more than 0.00001.
R flu: ~1.5
R measles: ~15
So 2x as deadly and 10x as contagious. AKA 20x as many dead people compared to the flu.
It probably wouldn't be 20x dead people, but yeah, based on numbers it's worse than flu.
