The flu argument is preposterous. Folks who are constantly arguing about this using the flu as their example are trying to take annualized numbers and compared them to these coronavirus numbers that are only a few weeks old.
2017-2018 Influenza season killed about 60,000 over twelve months with a "burden" of 45,000,000 influenza infections. To compare the approximately 60,000 Covid19 deaths over the three months of February, March, and April is, as you wrote, preposterous.

The death rates of Covid-19 similar to the common flu but with a higher infection rate.
It’s a fact at this point as many people have died from Covid-19 in the US in 2 months compared to a to a seasonal rate of the flu.
Keep living in your cocoon. The rest of us will deal with what plays out.
