You need to adjust for population growth as well. For example, if the US population doubled since then double the number.
You are also misquoting me. I said "not much more deaths than a bad flu year". I never said "no worse" and you know it.

@no1marauder saidInteresting that you didn't want to include the 1918 flu. You know it proves you wrong. I didn't put a time limit on my statement. Trying to move the goal post?
There's been many more deaths in the US from COVID during this outbreak than any flu outbreak in more than a hundred years.
@no1marauder saidStop pretending to not know which flu I was talking about.

The 1968 epidemic caused an estimated 100,000 deaths. How much was population growth since 52 years ago?

@kevcvs57 saidIt was called the Spanish Flu. The flu is not the flu anymore?
