And almost all of those were elderly or had other health issues. So, I'll clarify, in the young, healthy population, it's a typically mild illness.
Just an FYI for info - it updates every day. Current death rate for totally healthy people is .9%...BUT even if you have something simple like hypertension, that soars the death rate to 6%...so, if you have no health issue of any type anywhere, then you are at risk at the level of seasonal flu deaths for old people (which is still much higher than your actual risk of dying from the flu if you are in perfect health)...and if you aren't...well, you might want to be more concerned...

PS - They now have had deaths in the 10-19 range, and 20-29 range...although still none under 10...
