It isn't politicians who are shutting down college football--it's the virus.
So how come the Asian flu in 1957 (116,000 deaths) didn't shut down CFB or the Hong Kong flu (est 100,00 deaths) in 1968?

SARS-CoV-2 will kill a lot more people than those diseases. We are still early in the COVID-19 epidemic.
The death totals shown for those earlier epidemics are calculated by excess deaths. The COVID-19 figures that we have now are mostly confirmed COVID deaths with probable COVID deaths added for a few states. After COVID-19 is history, epidemiologists will look at excess deaths to get a truer picture.
The eventual US COVID-19 death total will dwarf those earlier diseases.
