It's not a flu. The flu can and does kill young healthy people. Let's not try to pretend or link this virus to those that are potentially lethal to everyone.

This is a nasty cold. A cold that will take out the weak elderly who would've died to the flu. A regular cold can still kill old people.

You should look up "reversion to the mean," then look up a bar graph of deaths for the last few years.

To save you some time: deaths were very low, many people were probably going to die this year who just barely hung on over the last few.
