Estimated US flu deaths[0] between 2010 and 2020 (i.e. 10 years): 359K.
Estimated US Covid-19 deaths[1] between January 2020 and today (i.e. 2.5 years): 1,044,557
Can we stop with this disingenuous narrative? People rightfully perceived a level of heightened risk, ahead of a working vaccine, and took reasonable precautions. If it was as dangerous as the flu, we would have seen 90K deaths not 1M+.
