Where do you live that CV is 20-30x less deadly than elsewhere? From the numbers I'm seeing, it's not just the flu.

30x of 0.1% still ain't bad.

200 million people (probably more in reality because of how overwhelmed the healthcare system would be) dying isn't bad?

This will kill 2 orders of magnitude more. Sounds good to have 30-70 millions deaths?

3% of people who catch a highly infectious disease dying of it is _ridiculously_ bad.
