Although a great deal of attention has been
given to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, it is most severe in
one area of China and appears to have limited clinical ramifications outside of
that region. Lost in the discussion about COVID-19 is the fact that the US is
experiencing a severe influenza season that has already resulted in more than
16 000 deaths. This JAMA Infographic compares incidence and mortality rates for
the 2 diseases.
