150k people die daily and among them, 100k die to old age related issues, regardless of Corona virus.
A stronger flu surely will increase those numbers because old people cant defend against it well.
Surely, I could be wrong and the virus death toll is underreported as you say, it wouldnt be the first time to cover up the real numbers.
Among the thousands of dead people it would be nice if a single person could say that he knew a victim, it would help the credibility along instead of "this guy said that, that guy said this"...
