If these numbers are correct, we could be talking about almost a billion dead globally.
Unlikely flu season  is near the end and a virus not impress me much.

Viruses are contagious only in sterile environments like science labs (petri-dish).
Viruses are non-living protein solvents made up of RNA and/or DNA.
Viruses are not alive. Bacterial, parasitical, germs, and fungal—are alive; living microbes. Viruses are not.
Viruses are cleansing agents that are manufactured in their whole form cellularly.

Viruses to not invade hosts and then replicate and attack all living cells indiscriminately.
