“California has a 0.03% rate of death from Covid19.
New York has a 0.01% rate of death from Covid19.
Norway has a 0.03% rate of death from Covid.

USA has a 0.13% rate of death from Flu.”
You are a sick liar, I hope you rot in hell.
New York State has 25,000 Covid19 dead out of 20 million population that is .15% out not .01% ASSUMING EVERYONE IS INFECTED. Falconspeed - you are obviously a Chinese propaganda troll.

New York City has a population of 8.4mm with 20% infection rate so 1.7mm cases

15,000 people have died of Covid19 in New York City
15,000/1,700,000 is .98% not .01%

But just like Covid19, the regular flu has non-symptomatic cases, estimated to be 75% of infections. So the infection mortality rate for seasonal flu is one quarter of .1% if you take into account everyone infected, not just those with symptoms. With Covid19 serology tests we are finding many people who are positive but don’t have symptoms. But for an apples to apples comparison with the seasonal flu you have to do the same thing, calculate based on all infections not just symptomatic infections. So, if NYC Covid infection mortality rate is .5% (actually they didn’t include probable deaths in this, which gives you an IFR of .8%), it is 20 times deadlier than regular flu.
.5% / .025% = 20 times deadlier than flu
.8% / .025% = 32 times deadlier than flu
