For example you could compare it with car accidents which is roughly the same number every year. Ignore the enormous steps taken to improve road safety. Do not suggest that geometrically increasing cases could eventually overtake what was initially a much larger number. Do compare COVID with seasonal influenza. Say flu is worse without know
