"According to the WHO, the estimated mortality rate of COVID-19 is 3.4%, but others put it at 1.9-2.6%; actual mortality rate of influenza in the US this flu season: 6.9%."

The 1.9 to 2.6% sounds like the Spanish Flu numbers. The regular flu is 0.1%.

"The unusually severe disease killed up to 2.5% of those infected, as opposed to the usual flu epidemic mortality rate of 0.1%"
Note: Unusually is the Spanish Flu in the quote from Wiki

Apologies for the error: Apparently, according to the CDC, that was the percentage of deaths attributable to pneumonia and influenza for the week ending on Feb. 15th, as published on Feb. 27th.
