How many did car crashes kill ? Few thousand ?

on average, NHTSA states 104 people in the US die each day in Auto accidents.
on average, CDC says 101 people in the US die each day from seasonal Flu.
What's your point?
The flu season varies but CDC generally considers it to run from Oct1 thru May1..that is 7 months.
7 months x 30 days=210 days.
34,200 deaths in 2018-19 flu season divided by 210 days = 162.8 deaths per day.
Mar 31 has now been updated (and may be again) 912 died from Covid-19 yesterday (Mar 31).
