And here's a graph plotting deaths per week for the Netherlands (my country) from 1995 to 2020.

Both countries have been in lockdown for weeks now, with Spain's lockdown being much more severe than the Netherlands because they were earlier to be effected and later to react and thus needed much more drastic measures. Personally, I've just started my eight week of self-isolation and social distancing. The graph for the Netherlands shows the difference for the death rate for a "regular" flu without any measures being taken versus the death toll for corona with stringent measures being taken. It's not "just the flu", it's way more infectious, and way more lethal than the regular flu.
