Big fan of that, a reference frame is a very good idea!
FYI, I made an application to manually detect whether the symptoms suffered led to the flu or covid-19. Perhaps we could use the data later. Here's the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=corona.report
Flu comparison would be nice, indeed. At least gathering links to sources of that information should be gathered, imo. Let me add: about 200 deaths by flu in D since oct. 2019, 0 deaths by Corona in D so far. (Information from tagesschau.de yesterday)

Sound great and I'd like to promote and recommend it further. And for that I would really(!) like to better understand how it works, so we can trust the results it delivers. Unfortunately the description on the Play Store doesn't provide this information.
This would add an enormous overhead to the project for not much gain. The number of flu cases is not relevant.
i second the proposal, i see it as having a parallel dataset with this year's influenza data. in the case CV peters out, fine, the influenza data will always dominate. however, if we see the CV numbers catching up to the influenza numbers (especially an "early warning" if the slope of CV is much higher than that of influenza), that could have a large effect on public opinion, maybe on public "readiness preparation", which could end up saving lives. (let's hope we never get there.)
Thank you for the suggestion. We will keep the idea in mind when we build out future capabilities.

Seit der 40. MW 2019 wurden insgesamt 145.258 labordiagnostisch bestätigte Influenzafälle an das
RKI übermittelt. Bei 23.276 (16 %) Fällen wurde angegeben, dass die Patienten hospitalisiert waren. Es
wurden bisher 405 Ausbrüche mit mehr als fünf Fällen an das RKI übermittelt, darunter 76 Ausbrüche in
Krankenhäusern. Seit der 40. KW 2019 wurden insgesamt 247 Todesfälle mit Influenzavirusinfektion
übermittelt."
Influenza Germany, since 40th cw of 2019: 247 death cases Covid-19 in germany so far: 7 deaths
very nice -- vielen Dank!
... parallel dataset with this year's influenza data.
@greg-minshall going in the roughly same direction is my effort #634 I have to admit I got mostly negative reactions. I think I jumped too far ahead at once. I think I'll try to display the flu data in the first step and then eventually the time becomes ripe for my original intentions. Anyway, "display flu data" is firmly sitting in my TODOs since some considerable time.
To ease the wide spread panic and concern, could you add cases of flu to make this a relative comparison? It would help put this in perspective.
