Its not the flu. The flu doesn't kill 350,000 people in 9 months in the US (flu vaccine or not). I don't give a crap how many times you repeat it. Maybe it becomes as insignificant as the flu once the vaccine is readily available but we're not nearly there yet.
Its categories, genius. The amount of people taking significant shortcuts is not immeasurable. Hence why certain countries have had a significantly better handle on this virus. South Korea had 652 COVID cases yesterday. The US had 291,000.
But keep going with your flu narrative.
