People die daily from a million different things, this virus is no different. It's simple

I do commend you for at least posting data. You did show that there are viruses that have a higher mortality rate than the current pandemic. You are just wrong when you say “this virus is no different”. I took the time to add up the world wide death toll for each of those viruses.The total for two of those viruses was less than 10 and the combined total of all that have a higher mortality rate than the current pandemic is under 2,000. In the US alone we have more than the combined total of those viruses dying on a daily basis. So, let’s round up and say the combined deaths worldwide for every virus in your graph is 2,000. The current estimated world wide deaths of this pandemic is 4,550,000. So those are just facts. The next step is explaining what the numbers mean.Why did the other viruses cause less deaths? Why has this virus cause many more deaths? There is a scientific answer to that and it’s not “people die everyday from something” or “if it’s your time, it’s your time”.
