One year of COVID-19 infected ~ 8.67% of the US population.
The average influenza year produces a similar result: about 8%.
Deaths are another matter entirely.
A typical flu year involves 36,000 deaths, or about 11/100k at current population.
COVID-19 gave us roughly 515k deaths in one year, March on March, or about 155/100k.
C19 has been 14 times more deadly than the flu.
But will it continue to be?
At this same point last year there were about 27k more dead from C19 than there are today, 108k vs. 81k.
Keep in mind that there are only just so many people with comorbidities and other vulnerabilities to fuel the death fire.
