The flu kills 300-500k every year, and did not make the list, while absolute bullshit like Zika and Monkey pox did.

Death by infected count, and level of infectious ess both matter. Flue kills more, but its also a lower death per infected count. This is why comparing COVID to flu was a statistic only pursued by those with a wilful misunderstanding.

Flu kills mostly babies and elders, ebola kills at any age. Hence the logistical and cultural and societal impact are nothing alike.
