No, over 1 million died WITH Covid, not necessarily FROM Covid...

Care to explain why Flu cases dropped to almost nothing in the 2020-2021 flu season? And why they were only about 30% of normal in 2021-2022?

"According to the CDC, the estimated number of annual flu cases in the U.S. each year since 2016 is as follows:

29 million cases in 2016-2017
41 million cases in 2017-2018
29 million cases in 2018-2019
36 million cases in 2019-2020
9 million cases in 2021-2022

Estimates aren’t available for the 2020-2021 flu season due to minimal influenza activity."
