      In the “quiet” COVID month of July 1990 people died of COVID, compared to 86 people with influenza.

      And that’s a quiet month.

          God thank you for the clarification. For a quick second I thought I had jumped the timeline to one where Clinton handled COVID.

        This includes deaths from covid-induced pneumonia, and influenza has higher seasonality. Including deaths from influenza-induced pneumonia, not cherry picking a summer month, and using a per capita statistic shows that covid is more deadly than the flu, but only about twice as deadly, not almost 24 times more deadly as your comment implies. Further, if you are under 50, the mortality rates for influenza are roughly equal or lower than covid depending on your age. Flu is much more likely to be disastrous for young children than covid.
