If the death rate was for same for CV19 as it is for seasonal flu then only 203 people would have died, not 8141. Let that sink in for a moment to understand why flattening the CV-19 curve by social distancing, business closures and staying at home are so important

One variable not factored in to US statistics are the # of people who are infected that have not been tested (due to lack of kits or symptoms). Hopefully the death rate will drastically drop.
