You are wrong, you have no clue what you are talking about. Rather then cling to your hysteria, learn something or are you claiming you hysteric chicken little know better then the CDC?
While the impact of flu varies, it places a substantial burden on the health of people in the United States each year. CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.

CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 61,000 deaths annually since 2010. We are talking about MORTALITY RATE. Using YOUR figures in the USA if we 45 million illnesses (people who get the flu) PER YEAR for ten years that 450,000,000 that get the flu.
450,000,000 infected over 10 years.
If an average of 61,000 die per year for 10 years that 610,000 dead.
610,000 divided by 450,000,000 = .00135 or .135%.
So in the US assuming your number or 10 years the mortality RATE of the flu is ONLY .135% far less than the MOST conservative mortality rates for corona.

From your CDC figures:
61,000 deaths/45,000,000 illnesses = 0.0013% fatality rate from illnesses.
So, yes, the CV mortality rate appears to be far worse.
