COVID vs Flu in Missouri - Data
Missouri has 196 COVID cases and 5 deaths recorded. Compare this to the flu where they had 67 deaths this week alone and 4,221 cases of the flu this week (https://health.mo.gov/living/healthcondiseases/communicable/influenza/pdf/week111920.pdf). Missouri this flu season had 1,188 deaths to this point. COVID in the entire US has killed 582.
It might be the case that we are overreacting to COVID-19
.. and yet flu season never overwhelmed the healthcare system, but now covid is so you're missing something (Curious, what's the flu vaccination rate in Missouri?)
Actually that happens sometimes with flu season too, most recently 2018 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/overwhelmed-by-flu-cases-some-ers-turn-ambulances-away-california/

Missouri flu vaccine rate is in the top 90th percentile
Hey OP, Did you read the news where 7 members of a family in new jersey got the virus and 4 are already dead. This doesn't happen in normal flu because people take flu shots. Tired of people spreading misinformation that this is all normal https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/19/health/new-jersey-coronavirus-family-members-killed/index.html
In case you don't trust cnn https://www.foxnews.com/us/new-jersey-family-3-deaths-4-hospitalized-coronavirus
How is it misinformation if you take facts directly from a state government site?
Even the worst of the nay sayers have started taking this virus seriously. I advice you do the same. https://twitter.com/thefix/status/1240041548672380931?s=20

2 months later in Missouri. 1,923 deaths this year to the flu and pneumonia. 688 due to COVID. Just wait 2 more weeks. Just wait for the 2nd wave. Just wait.....
COVID is barely getting started
Can’t dispute the numbers
