UPDATE: the CDC have said that approximately 6% of COVID-19 deaths have been from the virus alone, with not one reported comorbidity - as of December 8, the U.S. has had 282,000 deaths from that virus - 6% of 282,000 = 16,920 - this is equivalent to just over 5 1/2 September 11s. And I'm just talking one country here. I'm going to research how many of these deaths were under 65 years of age (even though I wouldn't have wanted the terrorists to kill 2,977 senior citizens on 9/11 either).

Also, I know rushing this vaccine without more long-term trials could end up doing harm (like with Polio), but COVID-19 does harm also (like residual effects in survivors). It is a tough situation.

I made this about overall deaths, the only argument Í heard was ẗhat I used flu data from the US" but nobody seemed to be able to tell me where I said it was only US flu data.

If you ever hear an anti-vaxxer and or anti-masker talk to you about the flu, you can use some of the data I just looked at, and also, 1 - there's flu vaccines available every season, but we're still waiting for vaccines for THIS virus - 2 - you're at least 3 X more likely to die from COVID-19 than from the flu - and 3 - how about wearing a mask to make it a smaller chance that you kill someone's grandparents?

From what I've read, the CDC has the total deaths from the flu, in the 2019-2020 season and U.S. only, at 22,000. I haven't checked worldwide flu deaths for that season. Since your chart mentions September 11 and Pearl Harbor (U.S. civilians and personnel), you would be better off comparing those numbers to overall U.S. COVID-19 deaths, NOT worldwide.

Here's some good info that I just looked at: in the U.S., 22,000 total deaths in the 2019-2020 influenza season - total COVID-19 deaths in the the U.S. in the past 7 days = 17,807. ALMOST as many COVID-19 deaths in the past WEEK than flu deaths the ENTIRE flu season last year.
