I think the difference is that the flu deaths are an every year event so we have learned to live with it but the Coronavirus is new and gives the media something new to write about.
Should we be concerned, yes but panic and hysteria NO
That number is per year.

We haven't had a year of COVID-19 yet. We haven't even had the same number of months as the average flu season yet.
