COVID eclipsed that within a couple months. By year's end it'll very likely have killed 10× that lower bound. And like others said: COVID's killing the same number of Americans per day that the flu kills in a whole month.
The people who insist "it's just the flu" evidently need to brush up on elementary school arithmetic.
