If she had said "for people under 30" it would match the chart, unlike her dishonest claim. However, it would still be a misrepresentation of the data. It's quite possible the death rate for people under 30 is higher than flu, but the sample is too small to measure a tiny rate.

The flu numbers from the CDC are also an estimate from a mathematical model because deaths from the flu are under-reported and most cases aren't detected:
cdc.gov/flu/about/burd
My impression is that the COVID-19 stats are raw data based on number of deaths and detected cases.
