That’s fairly on par with a typical season, and well below the CDC’s 2017-2018 estimates of 48.8 million illnesses, 959,000 hospitalizations and 79,400 deaths.

No it isn't listed as an equal cause of death, that is a leap that some are taking.
I linked the CDC page that shows the range of the estimate for 2019-2020, 24K to 62K. There is a link in it that shows how the CDC inflates the flu stats and the reasons why. It is not a legitimate count, it says right there that it is an estimate.
ETA: Time Magazine messed up. The article says:

I'm good with 61,000 deaths from flu as the correct number for 2019 - with a vaccine available and with FDA good treatments available (Tamiflu, etc).
Close enough. Still less than COVID 19 without any vaccine available and without any FDA approved treatment available.
The link they provide says 61,099 deaths.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson criticized Google-owned hosting site YouTube for removing a viral video from two well-respected California doctors from its platform.
“Unfortunately for us, informed debate is exactly what the authorities don’t want,” Carlson said. “Last night, the doctor’s video, the one you saw, was pulled off of YouTube, the largest video hosting site in the world. It wasn’t an accident, YouTube admitted doing it. The company cited a violation of ‘Community Guidelines’ and they did not apologize.”
Carlson described the removal of the video as a “turning point in how we live in this country,” citing the fact that the video “was not pornographic, did not violate copyright or incite violence or commit libel, it didn’t break any law.”

It seems to me the more research and studies that are conducted tends to bring many more questions instead of answers IMO.
...
Their methods and use of data does not seem to be in question so that leads to why the shut down of America and other countries ? ...
The answer to that question has, IMO, been obvious to anyone who would think since the beginning. Regardless of whether there is a "pandemic" (and I'm not saying that isn't some kind of novel virus out there), the point of this dog and pony show has never had anything to do with public health; it's been about control and agendas the whole time. Whether the "crisis" has been real or generated, it's been used.
BINGO !!!! Couldn't agree more friend !
If I have to explain why and to what end ... Well, there's no point in doing so. Anyone who has not seen it yet simply doesn't want to.
