oh the numbers i came up with are similar to typical annual death rate for flu, what a coincidence

Not sure what numbers you're using to come up with that, but the World Health Organization estimates CV-19 to have a 3.4% current Case Fatality Rate, and the CFR for the flu is < 1% (.83% actually, and only in those > 65). That means CV-19 is at least 4X more deadly than the flu..

Apply common sense. Out of approx 125 patients in the nursing home in WA over 25 have died in the last 2.5 weeks.

Do you think a nursing home loses 20 percent of thier patients in 2.5 weeks from a regular flu? They said themselves today in a report the norm over that period would be 3 to 4, not 26.

Thats bad no matter how you look at it. Thats clearly not regular flu. And I dont know about you guys but I dont want to risk catching it and I sure as heck dont want my parents catching it.

The WHO is not an organization I would put much stock in.
