Older people and people with compromised health conditions are more likely to die from any disease than a healthy person. Show me the percentages of people who died from the flu that had other contributing factors. Or any other disease for that matter. You can’t say the percentages for COVID are any different without providing numbers for the others.

But total annual deaths attributed to a specific disease compared to another disease are hard numbers and easy to compare.
