Lets have a Mexican beer, shall we?
You're probably wrong with your numbers:

No, totally accurate at the time of writing. Quoting numbers from mid May on a post of early March is a bit off-track maybe?
Anyway, still all in good shape here. At the end of the year all you might notice is a rounding difference in mortality statistic. Situation is of course different elsewhere. Interestingly enough the numbers are worst mostly in countries with bad / failing governments.

On 14 March, the number of confirmed infections had increased to 4,585, including nine fatalities (Germany). Luckily it arrived later to Germany but that time we already had evidences and seriousness from the cases in Italy.
Your quoted 25.000 peoples dying from the flue is also incorrect. It's approximately the total reported cases (2018) and only a small fraction died. We can see clearly already now that the death toll of SARS-CoV-2 is much higher. It's not a simple influenza virus.
