That matches what we were being told 18 months ago though.

As I understood it, the problem was with the number of people being infected, because of the lack of any existing immunity.

Ie, most of the population has some degree of immunity to the flu, so it kills people in much lower numbers each year. COVID was going to…and did…infect large numbers all at once which would wreak havoc on the health systems of countries and cause the death rate of all caused to skyrocket.

It should. This study only covers data from Jan-Sept. 9th, 2020. It was written then. It does not, for instance, cover any errors in recorded deaths since then.
