At least for Sweden, it is still true that the worst flus have killed more people than corona on a per capita basis. And we don't have to go back very far at all to find cases of this. 1993 and 2000 where particularly bad and topped corona. But that is corona with social distancing and very widespread working from home, so it isn't really an apples to apples comparison.
