Right the average is around 30 million cases for the flu each year.


And "your bad" is still completely wrong. It's not like the flu for 99% of those that get it. We have 12x as many deaths from covid as we do from an average flu year. By the time we're done, it will be 20x. How can that possibly just like the flu for 99% of people who get it. That math doesn't remotely work. Plus you can ask the people who were hospitalized for weeks and months but didn't die if it was just like the flu. Death is binary, but the seriousness of covid relative to the flu is not. Ask VintonVAhoo if he thinks it's just like the flu. It didn't kill him... but it sure as hell did a number on him.

This started off as a good discussion, but now you're veering off into just spouting off wrong information. How can a disease that causes 20x the number off deaths in a single year despite MASSIVE social distancing efforts, be "just like the flu for 99%+ of people".
