Your purported statistic about the flu is demonstrably false.
For the entire 2016-2017 flu season, not just January 2017, there were 14,400 deaths from the flu in France. [0]
The latest death count for COVID in France is 60,549, even after all the lockdown measures were put in place.

- jmnicolas 6y agoINSEE is the official French statistics agency, not some conspiracy quack. Sorry this is in French: > En outre, l’épidémie de grippe hivernale amorcée fin 2016 a entraîné un pic de décès exceptionnel en janvier 2017 : 67 000 décès en France métropolitaine ce mois-ci. Source: https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/3629105 https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/3629105 It basically says there was an exceptional peak of 67k deaths due to the flu for the month of January 2017.
- enimodas 6y agoIt doesn't say those were all from the flu. Yearly deaths = 606k = average 50k a month. January had 67k, so roughly 17k flu deaths.
