I googled it today; October, 2019 - April 4, 2020 seasonal Flu deaths are between 23,000 - 61,000 in the U S. These are admitted estimates because patients may have co-morbidity explanations.

The difference between the "FLU" and "COVID-19" is that COVID-19 is 10x as contagious. Does that make sense to you?

I think it is as infectious as the common cold, which is, in fact, a coronavirus. Much more lethal, and very contagious, but not 10x more contagious.

Between hand washing, covering coughs & sneezes, extra cleanliness, hiding, & being polite, lives got changed. It would make sense for common Flu deaths to decrease amid heightened sanitary precautions for a disease which is 10X’s more communicable.
