Well, doesn't mean that we can't make jokes about remedies without solutions. Especially if goverments without solutions promisses those remedies.
And if I do the maths... then I come up with 5-7% of casualties from a flu. That was an average rate even years before doomsday.
Luckily others do the math better (you are at least off by one order of magnitude) and at least in terms of knowing the semantics of the numbers.
If you want to calculate how many people die from a flu, make sure you compare similar people and attribute the number to the right population: Do you know anybody ever getting PCR sampled for having a flu in their life? Unless you go into a hospital for a really bad case, its really rare that something like that happens. So, the population of lab-tested people will already have a severe case of influenza and yes, a high number of those will die.
For example, in the 2018/2019 season, we had 852 lab-tested deaths of influenza, out of 181,000 cases confirmed the same way (0.47%). 40000 of those had been hospitalized (22%). That is mildly close to the case fatality rate, but again, as noted, flawed by selection bias. (Source:

In reality, the number of all infected people was of course much higher, while the number of deaths was only slightly higher, since these had been covered better by testing. According to the ARE surveillance network monitoring influenza activity from doctor prescriptions, we had up to 2 million cases of respiratory diseases per week, a lot of them with influenza, some lot with the common cold. Every week.
Luckily we have good medicine today. Around 1919, the spanish flu killed about 10% of the Indian population - and that was still only a rather normal kind of influenza virus, something, whose close relative strains visit us about every 4 years. Neither here, nor in India, it has ever become THAT deadly.
