quite similar if it's as contagious as we're told.

Flu (2020): About 600 deaths per day at peak, 14,000 total in US.

Coronavirus: 1400-2000 deaths per day now, 23,000 total so far, still climbing.[2]

USA #1 in coronavirus deaths! [1]

covid is currently killing more people per day than the flu on a bad season, and that's with a lockdown.
