One of the worst flu seasons we had in the last 20 years in term of deaths. Covid has 10x the mortality rate for the age range 0 to 49. If you look at the H1N1 pandemic, which infected half of Americans and killed 20,000. It's on a full different scale. Covid hasn't infected half of Americans.
Covid is killing people who don't have covid. Elective surgeries are getting stopped which include cancer removal surgeries. ERs are full. There's cases of people dying of treatable heart attacks in parking lots because there are no beds. Has flu ever done that in the last 50 years?
