You cannot use the highest surge in death rates for Covid or what it presently is and and make that the equivalent to the average of 854 deaths per day for the 1918 flu over the 26 month duration of the pandemic in the US. To do so indicates you are not being objective. Since presently ""the daily death toll from seasonal flu, using preliminary maximum estimates from the 2019-2020 influenza season, stood at an average of almost 332 people" (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109281/covid-19-daily-deaths-compared-to-all-causes/) then even this year's flu deaths - which are uncharacteristically low - is more then the figure you are using for the 1918 flu.
So, given that we have 100 years of medical advances, antibiotics, and the ability to distinguish between various ILIs, even with a population that is triple what we had in 1918 we are still seeing a proportionately higher death rate at the moment. Anything more than 2560 deaths in a day is “worse” than the Spanish Flu, and anything less than that number is “better” than the Spanish Flu. With 100 years better medicine.
Again, "at the moment" is not how you compare the rate. You need to wait until we reach 26 months or until the Covid pandemic is over. And what you are also not including in what seems to be an intent to magnify Covid, is that in contrast to the 1918 flu which mainly killed the young and even fit persons (though many were weakend by war), only about one percent of Covid-assigned deaths are young people while the vast majority of these deaths are 65 years-old or more, most with 2 or more comorbidities. Meaning the cause of deaths is much clearer for the former, and which was often sudden. In addition, 42% of Americans are overweight/obese, and which, along with diabetes which usually flows from this, and hypertension, is a leading comorbidity.
Meaning in contrast to 1918, relatively speaking hardly anyone dies of Covid who are in good health, which at least outweighs the advancements in treatment now, though in 1918 they rightly encouraged ventilation of rooms and even placed patients outside, and which they reported resulted in better recoveries.
And contrary to the claims that every death is attributed to CCP-19, we can tell the difference, now, and most non-CCP-19 deaths are not being misattributed.
Prove that reported Covid deaths are only those that are confirmed to have Covid - and died from it. For the CCD allows for "presumed" deaths by Covid, and contrary to the claims that deny it, hospitals do receive more money for such. Though not the norm, according to a Colorado coroner the State included a murder-suicide in COVID deaths.
Much data here
Thus since the 1918 flu mainly killed people who ordinarily would not have died, then deaths attributed to the 1918 flu are far more likely to be accurate versus those assigned to Covid, and in which the real cause is usually a preventable heath condition, where it is obesity, diabetes, hypertension, CPD, AIDS.etc.
