I don't know how you have the gall to say that when you are blatantly making up things you want to be true without presenting any evidence. You're presenting isolated statistics that don't prove anything.
The statistics prove exactly what they set out to prove. If you don't agree with them, then present some evidence to the contrary.

That I have not presented evidence? I have presented you with WHO articles, articles published in Nature, in the BMJ.
The article you have linked says COVID has a death rate of 0.27% on average, which works out as 270 per 100,000. The CDC puts the mortality rate for flu at 1.8 per 100,000, while the KFF puts it at 2.8. Using that paper to draw the conclusion that "mortality from COVID is not much different than mortality from the flu" is incorrect.

In-hospital mortality was higher in patients with COVID-19 than in patients with influenza ([16·9%] vs [5·8%])
