How many more people need to die before you change your mind?

There were about 35,000 deaths in the US during the 2018-2019 flu season.

There have been about 135,000 deaths in the US from COVID-19 so far. And the number of deaths per day is going back up.

So how many people do you think need to die in 2020 from COVID-19 before we should be taking it seriously and not considering it "just a fucking flu"? Another 35,000? More?
