If we take this years flu numbers, 36M reported cases so far.
That's ~10%+ of the population.
~50% of the population gets vaccinated meaning the real number of infected is 20% of the unvaccinated population.
The 36M number is an estimate based on reported cases.
Flu severity ranges from a mild annoyance to you die from it.
How many people who get the flu see a Dr?
1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4?
1/3 seems reasonable.
That makes the 36M number 108M
~80% of the unvaccinated population on the low side, ~95% on the high side.
There is currently no vaccine for Covid.
We are all getting this.

Just wondering, why do you appear to imply that being vaccinated = not getting the flu? That's not even remotely the case. You can be vaccinated and still get the same flu strain you were vaccinated against.
As for "we're all getting this"... I don't see that as being reality.
Wayne to your question, I'd like to see someone chime in with some expertise in this area. It doesn't make much sense to me either.
