Can you promise that we will never lose a single days worth of flu victims from the coronavirus? Nobody knows
Of course we will lose at least that many total, That is obvious. Just because the hype is overblown does not mean we are not going to lose more people.
It would be entirely silly to believe we won't lose more people.
Yet, we are still not close to a single days worth of flu deaths so far.
It is overblown.
We have yet to lose even a single days worth of flu victims in the US.

1,400,000,000 people live in China. If we believe the reports there are 80,000 Chinese cases. That is about a half of one percent of the population.
More like 0.0057% or about half of one hundredth of a percent.
80,000 / 1,400,000 = 0.0000571
0.000057 converted to percentage by multiplying the decimal value by 100 is 0.0057%.
That lines up with South Korea data.
South Korea has widespread testing.
Sample size matters, especially for morbidity rates.

Trains are not statistically dangerous. You just proved that yourself.
Plus, those were deaths by stupidity not trains. Darwin killed them, the train did not attack them.
Car accidents are higher.
While you seem to have a train phobia and think they attack people, you do realize that viruses ACTUALLY attack people don't you?
That was a pretty silly question.
Of those 442....I'm betting 436 were suicides.
"Yet" is the key word in your statement. Cov19 has all the potential to kill many, many more than the standard flu variants.
No one denied that, the conversation was about it being overblown.
So far the range is not that far off the normal flu and looks to be far less deadly than many of the outbreaks, as my graphic showed.
If you are healthy and under 60 so far it seems you don't have a high risk of death at all.
Flu season is almost over, it will be interesting to see if this follows the same pattern.

Flu season can extend into early May, according to CDC.
Can, yes, but peak season is almost over.
That does not mean it is fully gone, but the peak is almost over.
