I'm confused by the downvotes on this. The comment is quoting CDC numbers, this is not some fake news report.

The 0.4% mortality for coronavirus is the CDC best estimate.

The 0.2% is from the CDC website for the 2017 flu season.

Edit: The parent comment has apparently been flag removed. But it was claiming that the reaction to coronavirus (lockdown) is worse than the damage from the virus, and used the above comparison to flu mortality to support this claim.

I'm not sure why this comment was flag removed, since it used data to support a position.
