Not sure why the other CDC link I gave earlier shows 41K deaths due to influenza including pnumonia.

Again regardless this is all misisng the point. Flu routinely spike causing 1000 deaths a week, sometimes its less sometimes its more. COVID also tends to spike up and down. The point is 1000 deaths a week is not unusual for FLU at least as ballpark, and very comparable to COVID.

For example week 50 of 2022 had 1048 flu and related deaths during that one week. Granted this is a peek. You can find it here: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm#NCHSMortality

Similarly from July of 2022 to today we have had anywhere from 400 on weekly numbers up to 1.2K, which again shows my original point, that while COVID is certainly a bit more deadly these numbers are now in flu territory. higher, but in a similar ballpark at this point.
