We're at the end of first quarter 2020, so by those numbers 80,000 / 4 = 20,000 US deaths due to flu.

The flu has already killed 10,000 in the US this flu season

Yet we've only had 3,431 deaths as of 3/31/20 due to Covid-19 in the US

In China, there's been a total of 3,226 deaths so far

I don't see how the response is commensurate to the numbers, nor are the numbers being reported and considered.
