Using data from :
Estimated Influenza Illnesses, Medical visits, Hospitalizations, and Deaths in the United States — 2018–2019 influenza season
Here are the survival rates for Influenza 2018-2019:
Age 5-17 = 99.998% (Same as COVID)
Age 18-49 = 99.8% (Worse than COVID)
Age 50-64 = 99.4% (Worse than COVID)
Age 65+ = 99.17 (Better than COVID)
The above summary pulled from the "chans"; I did not verify.
Of course, the talking points have shifted away from deaths to the permanent damage covid does to its victim.
