Much worse than the flu actually. Its absurd to try to compare it to the flu when it's far deadlier.
SILENTSAM is a troll. He knows quite well that the numbers are totally propped up with various techniques. PCR test is unreliable, deaths are WITH, not OF corona and so on.
Approximately 10x IFR of seasonal flu. Don't have the cite handy.
Of course that has come down since hospitals have largely not been full and treatments improved.
Oooh, a SILENTSAM sockpuppet, how cute. A bit overly obvious of course, but cute none the less.
Your accusing a different person of being me? Oh, they use factual numbers, and toy think only I do that?
If you pull your head from the sand you might see the real world.
But new variants are more transmissible, which can more quickly overwhelm hospitals and then you get a spike in fatality rates.
And of course long term body damage seems worse in COVID
