I’m not going digging for your numbers, but everything I’ve read indicates that your numbers are two orders of magnitude off and that the flu fatality rate is around 1/10 of one percent, i.e., 0.1 percent. Check your source and see if it says 0.079 to 0.090 percent, not 7.9 to 9.0 percent.

If your numbers were right, we’d now be in worse shape than China by an order of magnitude.

Literally Googled “flu numbers CDC” and it showed a link to ABC and CDC. 29 million cought the flu, 280,000 hospitalized and 16000 deaths in 2019 - 2020. If my math is right, that’s a mortality rate of about 6%.
