Ignored from my post: except that a significant percentage of those with pre-existing health conditions who succumb to coronavirus would be in the normal death rate anyway.
Not ignored (maybe glossed over
but while there would likely be some overlap, there is no way to know the extent. Some of those 2.5 million deaths would not be redundant with the flu (cancer, accidental injury, & Alzheimers for instance).
The math matters as that is what separates this from flu in every possible measure. While only time will tell for sure, but some are already learning these bitter calculations.
