The average number of flu deaths in the US is pretty volatile, but 30,000 is a decent kind of average, and 50,000 is on the "quite high" side, but lets use that figure.
Take 50,000 out as flu deaths, and we still have 400,000 COVID deaths in a single year. This represents eight times the high-side average of flu deaths per year.
So whilst your comment may be true, it barely detracts from the destruction wrought by Covid, and justifies taking its threat seriously.
