The new coronavirus ailment, COVID-19, has caused more than 1.4 million diseases and 85,000 passings in the U.S. as of May 14, as indicated by information from Johns Hopkins University.

Both COVID-19 and this season's flu virus are respiratory ailments. In any case, COVID-19 isn't influenza. Research so far shows that COVID-19 spreads all the more effectively and has a higher passing rate than this season's flu virus.

Researchers are dashing to discover increasingly about COVID-19, and our comprehension may change as new data opens up. In view of what we know up until this point, here's the manner by which it contrasts and seasonal influenza.
