The deaths/ million population is considerably smaller than 1918 Spanish flu. FYI- Without shutting down their economy, Sweden’s death’s Million is about 25% less than US

Valid point that Covid's deaths per million is considerably smaller but that's not the entire picture.

* Covid's mortality rate currently stands at 2% while the 1918 epidemic was at 2.5%
* Sanitary conditions and effective health care today far exceed what existed 100 years ago
* No vaccine existed 100 years to help protect people against the worst savages of that virus
* Benefits of historical lessons and hindsight have governed medical experts opinion today
* Covid deaths would be fewer today had politicians not downplayed and politicized it
* US leads the world for Covid cases & deaths, though China & Russia each have >4x the population
* The US has <9x Canada's population but 27x the number of cases and deaths

Are you beginning to get the picture?

1918 US population was 103 million, 675,000 died = .65%
2021 Us population is 330 million, 675,000 die = .20%
Less than 1/3rd the death rate

Why is it so many individuals such as yourself always seem to resort to the most simplistic perspective and answer rather than ever delving deeper and grasping the bigger picture that's really going on? I've already provided the commentator that preceded you with just a few of many facts they failed to consider in their own similar assessment. You might want to review such for yourself.

Why do people like yourself not include statistics and facts that do not align with your position? My contrabution is on top of yours. For example, 3x the number of people are surviving covid than the Spanish flu in 1918. Or, the Spanish flu is still around today.

So, counting every death as "COVID DEATH" for a year. I keep asking "how stupid can you be", but it is time to stop. People are clearly taking it as a challenge.

"Dude jumped off a skyscraper. Cycle the test till it gives a positive, list it as another covid death."

What the hell are you even talking about? In 2020 alone there was aggregate of over 3M deaths in the US attributed to multiple causes (a 15.9% increase over 2019) with heart disease the leading cause, cancer second and Covid third, followed by accidental deaths, chronic respiratory disease, Alzheimers, diabetes, renal failure and suicide. That's hardly counting every death as a covid death.
"How stupid can you be" to not conduct proper research from the CDC and other reputable sources that cite such facts?
