Covid way worse than influenza

"Again COVID-19 is not Influenza and there are many differences that the "Stable Genius" crowd likes to ignore.
For example the large difference in the number of people who will have COVID-19 and when we are discussing 330K+ COVID cases in Canada with preventive measures in place (possibly 5 times higher) in the last 8 or so months and we are seeing a large % of those younger and healthy individuals with mild cases of COVID experiencing persistent inflammation of the heart, or 20% of them will have some sort of mental health issue, that is substantially a higher number than those of Influenza.

Also understanding at the current numbers of confirmed COVID cases the 20% figure ending up with mental health issues represents a larger number than the total number of Influenza cases we see in Canada yearly.
I am not going to go deeper about Influenza VS COVID-19 because the comparison is just a ridiculous one to make specially 11 months into the pandemic."

Did you know 34,200 cases of flu related deaths happened in Canada last year? You did nothing. You walked around freely. https://ipac-canada.org/influenza-resources.php

There are 13,501 deaths from covid in 2020 soo far. You run and hide behind a mask.

Last year there were no lockdowns & other extreme measures. If there were flu deaths might have been a few hundred.

Without extreme safety measures this year, covid deaths in Canada would be more like 135,000. About 100,000 more than flu seasons.

" “To date this season, 19 influenza detections have been reported, which is significantly lower than the past six seasons where an average of 1,115 influenza detections were reported between weeks 35-46 (October to November)”, according to the latest FluWatch report."

"... Seasonal influenza circulation has remained low in Canada, and globally, during 2020."

"By the way, the facts about COVID-19 vs Flue in the US - the lies Trump, Pense (saying flu kills 100k a year) and his uneducated masses is promoting:
Flu Deaths by season:
2015-2016 23,000
2016-2017 38.000
2017-2018 61,000
2018-2019 34,000
2019-2020 22,000
vs.
COVID-19 deaths year-to-date 2020 210,000 and rapidly rising.
