Covid-19 has been with us for only several months and the death toll has now exceeded in that short amount of time the yearly death toll from the regular flu.
Let's wait until early 2121 to compare the yearly death tolls, shall we?
The deaths from Covid-19 will certainly far exceed that of the regular flu when the one year period ends in 2121.

I appreciate your sentiment here, but remember that whatever the actual number of covid cases/deaths we have this year, those numbers are being pushed down every day by social distancing. So covid is a much bigger issue than those numbers will indicate
