CDC statistics show that in 2022, just short of 6,000 people died of influenza. That's about 16 per day.

With the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19), flu activity during 2021-2022 was lower than observed before the pandemic. Compared with flu seasons prior to pandemic, the 2021–2022 flu season was mild and occurred in two waves, with a higher number of hospitalizations in the second wave.

You picked a year where covid protocol statistically skewed the data lower than normal

Normal per year is typically around 20k deaths, but can go up to 50k

Okay, 800/day is nearly 300k/year, so your argument is still weak.

Or maybe you didn't read:

not one post about the 759 Americans who died of #COVID19 in the last week of full data from the CDC

759x52= 39,468/ year which is around the flu but higher, makes sense since covid is newer. That's also assuming that the week in question is not an anomaly, which we don't know.

My argument is significantly stronger than your data handling
