Not talking about children, though. I'm talking about healthy adults in the prime of their lives.
Influenza kills an average of 36,000 per year. COVID-19 killed ~400,000 in 9 months.
Were shutdowns/lockdowns appropriate countermeasures? No. Neither was forcing nursing homes to accept known-infected patients. But comparing this to seasonal flu is ridiculous.
