As of this post Covid19 has claimed 5,310 souls. In a fraction of the time of flu season which began in the fall (6 months ago).

I have been saying the regular flu stats should reported right along side the C19 stats. It would help keep things in perspective.

There are, but the vaccines are only 50 to 60 percent effective.

It has been 100% effective with me the past 2 flu seasons.

I hope a cure is found before then but at current rate, covid-19 will “blow past” this death total within another week.
At Dr Fauci has said, and even Donald J Trump said a couple of days ago, you should not compare covid-19 to the flu; covid-19 is a wicked killer.

I understand that it works for some people, but the data shows that between 40 and 50 percent of the people who get vaccinated still can get the flu.
The vaccine seems to make cases less severe, and improve the odds of not getting influenza, but because the vaccine is based on assumptions about what types of flu will occur each season they are not entirely effective.
Some years are better than others, but it is never 100 percent effective.

Your post is of no use - but you of course can post any useless posts you want to.
New York City hospitals are now filled with covid-19 patients {the Comfort will take only patients who need hospitalization for other reasons, 20 of them, so it has turned out to be of minimal help}
Has that ever happened with flu patients??

Influenza is NOT a wicked killer? 80,000 Americans died from Influenza in the 2017-18 flu season EVEN with vaccines available.

There should be no problem having a running comparison
