Lack of flu activity in 2020-21 basically showed that covid mitigations = flu mitigations!
I think the issue was the phrasing that 1000 deaths/wk "is the exact same rate the flu has killed people in the USA for decades."
Per the CDC page linked, only 1 yr in the last decade had 1000 flu deaths/wk & the avg for last 12 yrs was ~600/wk.
If the rate was closer to 1000/week in earlier decades, a source link would be helpful!
