The point is compare “apples to apples” using deaths/infections for both flu and CV. In the US the current case death rate is 5.8% (100k/1.7m). If the CV death rate per infection is 0.3% that would mean there are (were) 19x more CV infections than reported (5.8% / 0.3%). Total CV infections would then be 32 million, NOT 1.7 million.

If I recall correctly, about 80% have mild symptoms, 15% get hospitalized and recover and 5% die (close to the 5.8%). This would give about 2 million cases based on 100k deaths, meaning 30 MILLION HAD NO SYMPTOMS OR VERY MILD SYNONYMS!

So while CV appears to have about a 10x death rate compared to flu, it may be that people with flu are 4x more likely to show symptoms. (Flu 25% show symptoms. CV 2/32 = 6.25% show symptoms. 25/6.25 = 4x)

This all unverified based what might be incorrect data/assumptions, such as the 0.3% CV death rate applying to the US. More analysis should also be done for age and at risk groups, etc.

None of that current data is worth a plugged nickle or a dead turtle. Not to mention all the asymptomatic cases of Covid-19 are left completely out of your “data” set. Let’s also remember that influenza is a non-reportable disease so “apples to apples” goes right out the window there.

Your "data" has also ignored the downward adjustments of covid deaths such as the 31% overcount in Colorado.
