Assume the normal flu kills 60-80K Americans over a twelve month period on average, and that this year will be similar.

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.
