    Yes but that’s because it’s infecting more people not because it’s more dangerous

      Infecting more people in and of itself makes a flu virus more dangerous. Even if, statistically, it doesn’t have a higher fatality rate, if the virus is able to more easily infect people then more will end up dead or hospitalized.
