Because it got out of hand, and medical services are being vastly overwhelmed, no one is truly prepared "if" it gets really out of hand.
Or is it just a hoax to get Trump?

During the 2018-2019 flu season 600k were hospitalized and 60k died, so that is 10% of those that were sick enough to go to the hospital. Maybe that is a better look at as to what we are dealing with.
In the states people are not being tested unless they get sick enough to go to the hospital, so if that is 5700 in the hospital and only 94 have died then 1.4% is extremely lower than 2018/2019 flu season.

CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million - 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 - 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 - 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.

No one knows the total # of people affected each year. These are all estimates.
I know I’ve had the flu and never reported to anyone. And I can’t be the only one. The lower classes get the flu and still go to work. No doctor unless they fear death. So are any of these numbers accurate?
The only thing certain is no one really knows.

The % of hospitalized people because of flu is not the total number of people infected. Which is why your numbers seem to imply the flu is more deadly when it isn't.

BTW, you also forget that COVID-19 is more infectious than influenza.
If what is happening in Italy continues and let's say 9,000,000 Italians get infected, if the death rate 7.7% continues, it would mean Italy could have 693,000 dead, and only if 9 million are infected.
If 45,000,000 get infected (there are over 60 million people in Italy) and the death rate at 7.7% continues, it would mean Italy could have 3,465,000 dead.
Do you understand now how serious this is?
