> (No more than 250,000 deaths from COVID-19 worldwide within a quarter of a year, compared to 1.5 million deaths during the flu wave in 2017/18).
Interesting weasel-words and cherry-picking. First, comparing a quarter of a year of Covid deaths against a whole year (or two?) of normal flu, and then subtly shifting between deaths from Covid and deaths during a flu wave (so not caused by the flu?).
For a more accurate comparison: "between 291,000 and 646,000 people worldwide die from seasonal influenza-related respiratory illnesses each year"[0] and 907,917 have died from Covid so far this year[1], despite all the extra measures taken to limit its spread and mortality rate.
