Something to note here:

We're seeing the world-wide (and US) death totals continue to rise even though we're right at a year since this was a thing. You can bet your ass they will not reset that death or case counter and instead just continue to add things up. This means people need will need to start comparing the death/case statistics to multiple seasons of flu in order to obtain truly accurate information.

As it stands, if we were to take numbers at face-value, COVID is basically, at worst, a super-flu. More deadly than the regular flu with about the same spread-rate.

Of course, when every death possible is counted as being from COVID and you have murderers putting sick people in nursing homes to kill people off and inflate the death count, you can't really say just how deadly it actually is (currently, the case/death ratio in the US is less than 2% and falling, and that's with the inflated numbers).
