Mangosteen,
If you're implying we're overreacting: the normal flu doesn't usually kill the attending doctors and nurses, or swamp hospitals so badly that healthy people with survivable injuries can't get treatment.
If you're implying that some of those deaths may actually be COVID19 deaths: I'd say we need to look at historical flu deaths and see if the last few months were outliers, or did not test positive for the regular flu strains.
