Yup there is about a 12% increase in deaths compared to a normal year. And a bad flu year normally has a 4% rise from normal. So it's 3x as bad as the flu.

The worst flu season in 40 years (2018) killed an estimated 70-80k. We're already at 4x that. And about 10x the number that die in a more typical flu season. And that's with masks & social distancing reducing rate of spread.

I agree. The problem is that the hype is far beyond 3x-4x the hype of a bad flu year, and instead went in to full panic mode. I'm just asking for a response that is proportionate to the actual threat.
