—————- mortality if hospitalized—-
Common cold. 0%
Covid Delta………1%
Influenza………….7%
Ebola…………….. 40%
We have vaccines highly effective against Covid 95%+ but influenza vaccines are only 40% to 60% effective .
Many, many more people have been infected with Covid than the flu so the total number of death is higher this year. But the flu is more deadly.

Anytime you would like to provide a
legitimate source, I'm all ears. Oh, and btw, the general reporting category is influenza AND pneumonia deaths, which year to year generally runs about 10 x as high as influenza alone, so please present the right data
