> Covid is comparable to the flu young people

No it's not.

> Up till now (~ 2 years), 56395 Americans less than 50yo have died from Covid

In the worst flu year in the last decade, the 95% confidence interval for total (all ages) flu deaths is 44k-64k and the flu also skews older for deaths, with around 75% in the over 50 category.

56k in 2 years under 50 is much worse than the flu in that age group.
