The difference is that for regular flu we have vaccines, herd immunity, and medicines that work. We have none of those things for COVID-19. The effect of that is to drive up hospitalization rates to the point that it's a DDoS on the healthcare system. People suffering from unrelated issues now can't get care on time, and some of them will die too. We don't even know for certain if getting it once makes you immune. How do you know herd immunity will work if you don't have the answer to something basic like that? Isolating just over-60s only works to some extent. What about the healthcare and nursing home workers whom they interact with?
