> If indeed those numbers are comparable or the same Well if you mean now now and not just annual totals or totals over the 2019-2020 flu season, they aren't the same or comparable, Covid-19 is the leading US cause of daily death, flu is way back in the pack. |

A = set of top 5 disease killers in the U.S (hypertension, obesity, cancer, diabetes, etc)
B = set of corona deaths in the U.S
The intersection between B and A is over 90% of set B's numbers. So basic counting shows that in order to get the proper amount of deaths you'd have to perform the following calculation of:
A + B - ( intersection of A and B)
Unfortunately most people are counting by adding A+B which results in double counting as person X who died in set B is also in set A.
