Why isnt putting it into perspective relevant? Simply put per year:
Flu: ~30K - 50K, or ~600/week to 1K/week.
Covid, we dont have long term trends post lock-down. But since july its ~600/week to 1.2K per week.
Pnumonia is ~50K per year.
I think its very relevant to point out COVID is about as deadly as most non-trivial respertory diseases. Which is to say it **is** deadly but you shouldnt be loosing any more sleep over it than you did 10 years ago.
