Covid is not the regular flu. Having said this, flu kills 600K per year. So far Covid has killed 162K globally. But isolation has reduced other deaths. It is still not clear that with Covid there will be many more excess global deaths in 2020.https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=208914 …
Replying to @martinvars
The flu numbers were estimated from all-cause mortality, the Covid numbers from people with confirmed tests. In Italy, all-cause mortality suggests that Covid deaths may be five times higher than confirmed. Africa is scarcely testing at all. We probably crossed 600K long ago.
