As I said, data varies. Here is an interesting source:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/
https://www.who.int/dg/speeches/detail/w...a-briefing-on-covid-19---3-march-2020

WHO says 3,4%, which is higher than what I said about 2,3%.

We don't shut down everything with influenza. That could be a huge difference.

Otherwise, yes, millions.

And large difference between countries, the poorest, most overpopulated and most disorganized as far as health care systems are concerned could end with significant death toll.
Uppsala, Sweden and Bombay, India do not have the same risk factor.

Death rate and death toll are two different things.

The absolute number of people dying from normal influenza (death toll) is still
higher in the world than COVID-19 to this day.

But the death rate of COVID-19 is much higher if you take into account the still much smaller number of people who are infected.
