How is that supposed to be usable in any way in the current context?

We aren't even 3 months in, while this is a death rate spanning over a year period, after the flu infected millions

>In the 2009-2010 swine flu epidemic, by contrast, 59 million Americans are thought to have caught the novel strain that first appeared in the spring, but only about 12,000 died because the infection was relatively mild, according to the C.D.C.(That flu, an H1N1 strain, was called a “swine flu,” despite the objections of the pork industry, because it emerged in a pig-farming region of Mexico and was the first human flu virus to contain genes from both North American and Eurasian pig flus.) The dominant strain last season was an H3N2 flu, which is usually the most deadly of the four seasonal flu strains that typically circulate.

When corona will have infected 59 million people in the US already, only then we're going to be able to draw any parallel with anything here. Right now it just doesn't make any sense
