This is, of course, not insignificant and it is indeed a horrible and tragic outcome for the people who suffered this disease and their families.
However, taking emotion out of the equation, the FLU kills 600,000+ worldwide in a bad year. That's a FACT.
So this whole "killing so many so quickly" doesn't stand up to the current statistics.
It's been FOUR MONTHS. AT LEAST. WORLDWIDE.

An estimated 80,000 Americans died from that 2018-2019 flu over the entire duration . We are not four months into this, only about 2.
First death was Feb.29th
We have not reached the plateau yet. Another few weeks to go. We do not know how long it will remain plateaued, Maybe another few weeks or so. The disease will persist at least as long as it took to get there. So, doubling the current death total is not an exaggeration. That brings it to over 115,000.
And there will be a another wave next fall-winter.
Hopefully I am wrong.
But this is much worse.
