the COVID numbers are actual numbers, although what is classified as COVID is different than what is classified as the flu.
For instance, if you have COVID and are asymptomatic, you are counted as having COVID, but not so with the flu, but then they will estimate how many people actually "had" the flu without having positive tests either (through various stats). So the comparisons are not true comparisons.
Not defending or saying either side is wrong, but the comparisons are quite difficult to accurately make
