Weren't we already in that same situation every year/decade prior to covid when between 20,000 and 50,000 would die from the flu each year?

I think 20k/50k + an additional 100k from covid is pretty nasty, so I don't think it's the same at all. It's not like flu and covid are the same disease. I'm thinking covid will just add tens of thousands (or up to 100k like GP said). Sucks.
