COVID-19 vs. Seasonal Influenza - Which is the Bigger Killer?

In a recent posting, I took a brief look at how government data clearly shows the real story behind the COVID-19 pandemic.  In this posting, I will take a look at government data, in this case, from Canada, and compare deaths from seasonal influenza (2018 season) to deaths from COVID-19 by age range.  Given the penchant of the mainstream media andn its over exuberance to propagate fear, the real, unreported data may surprise you.
