I don't mean to suggest that this won't be worse than the flu when all is done, but you're comparing global COVID-19 deaths to US-only flu deaths (US COVID deaths are about 3,000 right now, not 37,000).

I misread the data. I assumed it was global, but it was US only data I was looking at.

For the record global flu deaths some years are about 600k.

There is a good chance the lockdowns are saving more lives due to the normal flu then covid.
