<Sigh> they aren't. Every death sucks. How ever flue deaths are 0.1 % of the population while COVID 19 is 3%.

For a little perspective the flu infected 38 million people in the United States causing 390.000 hospitalizations and 23.000 deaths. AS of March 14th 454,000 COVID 19 cases world wide 20,550. See the difference in numbers?
