What do you mean, history says no? Coronavirus IS more lethal than the seasonal flu. That's a fact. It's not as lethal as the 1918 Influenza (sometimes called the Spanish flu), but it's estimated that 50 million people died from that one. And the world population then was about 1.8 billion, compared to 8 billion now. Just because this isn't like the Black Death in the 1300s doesn't mean it's not serious. Maybe you'll sing a different tune if your grandmother dies from it.
That's not true. It's all over the news that this flu is more moderate and is dangerous to only those with compromised physical symptoms.
That's not true. It's also dangerous for people over 60 years of age, and it has even killed people under 20 years.

Bruce this is from your link:
COVID-19 Fatality Rate by AGE:
*
Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) =
probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on the age group. The percentages shown below do not have to add up to 100%, as they
do NOT represent share of deaths by age group. Rather, it represents, for a person in a given age group, the
risk of dying if infected with COVID-19.

The people at risk are the older people with compromises health. F\Even then only a small percentage of those who come down with it die. Not like the normal flu. It is more dangerous.
