Most people have health complications way before.

All hell break lose especially the very old.
So unlikely this people can survive.
That's why government from the start should take note of old age home and nursing care center from beginning

A bad flu year can be even more deadly than Covid-19

In developed countries, such as the United States, deaths due to pneumonia and influenza account for >3% of all deaths in people aged ⩾65 years

hanor, but still early days yet to see if the mortality rates from covid-19 will surpass those that croaked from the flu.
it's a no-brainer that the elderly (>60 yo) may have underlying medical / multi-organ ailments - and the onset of flu leading to pneumonia which share similar covid traits in fucking up the lungs, that would overtake the flu in terms of demographics
