"The CFR of influenza..." Case Fatality Rate, in case anyone else lost their acronyms. According to worldometers.info, the US has reported 27,101,847 cases of COVID19 and 460,398 deaths, giving a CFR of about 1.70%, so that's about right. I have reservations about your influenza mortality number of 0.8%. Most of the numbers I've seen have been significantly lower. If you look at [1], there were an estimated 29,000,000 symptomatic cases of influenza in the US in 2016 and an estimated 38,000 deaths, giving an estimated CFR of 0.1%, including any effects of vaccination. Correcting for vaccination and making the assumption that everyone were vaccinated, that would result in a unvaccinated CFR of around 0.2-0.3, right? "If you disagree, please be so kind and educate me why." We've been dealing with COVID19 for about a year, no? We've had 27,000,000 cases and 460,000 deaths, right? That's about the same number of cases and 10x the number of deaths. You may not be trying to downplay COVID19, but I suspect you are doing it.
