The mortality during WWII was 9% over 6 years (1939-1945) for Germany, which gives a comparable number to that of corona virus now. So we should compare the current pandemic to 1 year of WWII with all the misery and suffering of the people instead of talking about "normal" or "abnormal" risk.

The coronavirus isn't having any affect on *physical", real objects (other than people), so it's not realistic to assume that it will have anywhere even close to the same side effects as a 6 year war. Comparing it with world war 2 is hyperbolic, at best.
