Where the hell do you get your information from?

​​​​​It is a fact that the mortality per case is much higher than the flu, not "barely" more.
And what are the chances of dying from the flu at 50?
What about at 60?
Compare that with Covid.

Look at the number of people dying in the US. Compare that to other years. Is it really the same as the flu?
The UK case: the total number you portray didn't include Scotland and Ireland, I believe. And don't forget that it is a number you get after lockdowns, social distancing, etc...
It probably reduced the road kills, for example.
It's difficult to quantify, bit If the country hadn't taken all those measures, they could have had the covid deaths on top of the "normal" deaths.

The perfect example are actually the US or Sweden, countries that almost have taken no measures.
Compare them vs the last 10 years.
