1. No traffic deaths? 2. Influenza at 80k worldwide is hard to believe. Wasn't it like 50k last year for the US alone?

  I think it was 80k for the US, something like 500k worldwide. Is this chart US alone? Edit: I think this starts at january, which is well into flu season, so maybe the bulk of this flu seasons deaths were already in 2019? In which case you're comparing the tail end of the flu to the bulk of covid. Covid is deadly enough without having to stack the data with relatively u fair comparisons...

    No. It's labeled global, and there's not huge numbers of malaria deaths in the US, so it's not just mislabeled.

      I double checked and I think it's because the data begins in january
