But since Influenza virus had become so routine, nobody thought to use the same metrics to measure it, and did not track it's mortality rate to the same level of this novel Coronavirus.

Got it. Thanks.There is no source.

Worldwide hospitals get overrun all the time during flu season.I said worldwide. But let's just cut to the chase. Do you disagree that covid is worse than the normal flu?:

Coronavirus vs. Flu Deaths
COVID-19: There have been approximately 3,111,247 deaths reported worldwide. In the U.S, 572,200 people have died of COVID-19 between January 2020 and April 26, 2021.*
Flu: The World Health Organization estimates that 290,000 to 650,000 people die of flu-related causes every year worldwide.
The COVID-19 situation is changing rapidly. Since this disease is caused by a new virus, the vast majority of people do not yet have immunity to it, and a vaccine may be many months away. Doctors and scientists are working to estimate the mortality rate of COVID-19, but at present, it is thought to be substantially higher (possibly 10 times or more) than that of most strains of the flu.

Cite your source, and maybe I will agree.COVID is less deadly than the flu for the young and healthy. Do you disagree with that?
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/symptoms/fl...are at higher risk of severe illness from flu.Cite your source, and maybe I will agree.
Your phrasing of the question seems that you are suggesting that COVID is more deadly than the flu for the old and unhealthy, but not for the young and healthy. But you only mentioned the young and healthy in your reply.
I'm curious when GWB and others around here will begin to pull back from their claims over the last year.
