Truth is that we cannot yet know fully, but it does look like people have died from flu than from covid-19, although I cannot check the numbers as they are never mentioned.
But then again, what do people fear more, a car or a terrorist? Most people will say the latter, but it's the former that killed more people by far. Why do people fear the latter more? Because the latter keeps hitting the news.
I'm more worried about the minds of people who go the crazy I idea to get all the toilet paper they can get.
