I'm not saying flu == covid, but since we're all talking about anecdotes, my grandmother technically died of the flu.

12-60k Americans die of the flu every year. So far 160k Americans have died of covid. Unless you've only been alive for a few years it's extremely unlikely you know 4 people that have died from covid and none from the flu...

I agree that it's an anectdotal point, but I don't think it's extremely unlikely. Covid affects a greater age range and there may be lifestyle factors at play, some people may know many people at risk of covid and few who are at risk of flu. It may be extremely unlikely in a random sample, but this isn't a random sample.
