>So basically it's a flu?
Probably(?). But the concern is that since we've never had it before, everyone will get it all at the same time, and tons of old/sick people will clog up all the hospitals. Normally the flu is just kind of going around in the population. This just got introduced to the population. Over time it will probably just turn into another flu-like strain.
Pic related is how I imagine it, but with a much bigger overshoot, and V2 being the normal levels we'll see in a number of years.

Also, google says about 7.8k Americans die every day normally. So, if around 7k Americans start dying of C-chan in the coming days, she's doubled the death rate for those days.
The total deaths in the US for 2018 was about 2.84 million. We might see an increase this year and a decrease the next year.
