That's the average age of people dying from covid in Germany. That's whom we protect, not?
Um, yes it does. 650,000 people per year (at the high end of "normal") die from plain old influenza. That's 1,800 per day, but since flu is seasonal and population is largely centered in the Northern Hemisphere where the season is generally only 4 months long, meaning some days of a normal year see several thousand or more deaths per day.

i am simply concerned because there are churches full of dead bodies in Itally does that normally happen with a flu out break.

4.7% globally, as of now.
4.7% of what?

Exactly. No one knows because some countries won't reveal their actual numbers and some aren't testing anymore. We'll never know how many people recovered that never had bad symptoms and were never checked. Anyone who says otherwise is delusional.
In the winter seasons from 2013/14 to 2016/17, an estimated average of 5,290,000 ILI cases occurred in Italy, corresponding to an incidence of 9%. • More than 68,000 deaths attributable to flu epidemics were estimated in the study period. • Italy showed a higher influenza attributable excess mortality compared to other European countries. especially in the elderly.

Well even if they give good known totals the actual numbers are are 5 to 10x more.

This is way crazier than that. Death toll is only around 0.1% of those infected - or 2x what a regular flu kills Each year.
4.7% globally, as of now.
From: www.worldometers.info...
At present, it is tempting to estimate the Covid-19 case fatality rate by dividing the number of known deaths by the number of confirmed cases. The resulting number, however, does not represent the true case fatality rate and might be off by orders of magnitude [...]
A precise estimate of the case fatality rate is therefore impossible at present.
