And the point being? The Pearl Harbor deaths is one single location, the COVID-19 deaths are spread across the entire country.

A more relevant and therefor more relevant correlation would to be the normal daily death counts across the US, one year ago, two years ago, three years ago, four years ago, etc..

A good example would be for 2015.
Total Deaths for the year: 2,712,630
Average total deaths per day: 7,432

And due to how the CDC handles data for influenza it is not really that valid of a comparison either. Here is what they say about that:
How many people died from flu during the 'flu' season?
CDC does not count how many people die from flu each year. Unlike flu deaths in children, flu deaths in adults are not nationally reportable.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Like I said and insinuated the comparison given in the Tweet is not valid. And it is a poor if not disgusting comparison.

ADDED - It is also propagandized BS as well.
