I wan to see some data about seasonal flu. Is that gone totally this year? Cause I know the yearly death toll of flu in my country (Hungary) and it's significantly higher than Covid so far. We usually have 3-6k death of flu each year https://akjournals.com/view/journals/650/161/23/article-p962.xml https://akjournals.com/view/journals/650/161/23/article-p962... And so far 683 deaths from Covid http://abouthungary.hu/news-in-brief/coronavirus-09-19/ http://abouthungary.hu/news-in-brief/coronavirus-09-19/

In the UK the flu has been killing more people than COVID over the last 25 weeks. That might change of course, but we’ve just been told this today during an interview with the health secretary Matt Hancock.

Flu is endemic. COVID is still spreading. This is a meaningless comparison. The only thing we can look at is case mortality and contagiousness, where COVID is 10x higher and 3x higher respectively than the flu

  Why is this post downvoted? This is literally the reason why COVID is treated the way it is.
