I'm not sure if you're being wilfully ignorant at this point. There are 3.3 million confirmed cases world wide, in a population of 7.8 billion. Say they've missed 90% of cases, and we're actually at like 100 million cases, that's still only 1% of the world that has it. Massive regions like India, Africa don't have it.

Are we going to see 9-40 times more deaths this season from those regions?
all of africa has 1663 deaths, and india has 1154. So yes likely.
The origional question was:

>I don’t get it. I found that there so far have been covid 234,133 deaths [0] and season flu can cause up to 646,000 deaths [1].

9-44x is 6-28 million covid deaths this year. Is this the number you think is likely?
