如果就美國的資料來看 流感 vs covid 每週的死亡數比大概是長這樣

Studies indicate omicron causes milder illness than earlier COVID variants,
but experts and early data again say there is little question: “Omicron is
more deadly than the flu,” said John Swartzberg, clinical professor emeritus
of infectious diseases and vaccinology at UC Berkeley.

omicron 看起來沒其他變種病情嚴重

但 柏克萊的教授 John Swartzberg 表示：還是比流感容易致死

More than 5,000 people across the U.S. died of COVID the last week of 2021.
That’s more than three times the number of people — 1,626 — who succumbed
to influenza during the deadliest week of the alarming 2017-18 flu season. And since the coronavirus arrived in 2020, there have been just two weeks in themore than 100 weeks of the pandemic when fewer than 1,600 people died from
COVID.

2021最後一個禮拜 美國因為 covid 死了超過 5000 人

然而 2017-2018 流感最嚴重的禮拜 死了 1626 人 .. 超過三倍

且 2020 covid 出現至今 100多個禮拜 只有 2 個禮拜的死亡數 少於 1600 人

In 2017-18, about 710,000 people were hospitalized for influenza. In 2021, the U.S. recorded roughly 35 million COVID cases — and more than 2.5 million
hospitalizations.

如果比較住院人數 2017-2018 流感季 71萬人住院

2021 因為 covid 超過 250萬人住院 約 3500萬人 確診
