Yeah of course it’s no worse than the flu! Ffs
Dekka. I'm asking how many people have died from flu during the "flu season". It's a perfectly reasonable question - given that no-one appears to be dying of flu, but thousands from Covid 19.

Does that mean Covid is much more "catchable", than flu then?

There are people still dying from respiratory diseases which include flu (ICD-10 J00-J99)
