What is the seasonal flu death rate by age bracket, and between healthy people & those with risk indicators?

For example, as of a few days ago, a CDC graph for COVID-19 says 3.6% death rate for ages 60-69. Maybe assume its only 0.36% for "healthy" people.

-- what is the seasonal flu death rate for healthy people, vs 0.1% for all people?

0.36% : 0.1% is 3.6 times as deadly, but apples to oranges.

Maybe its really 0.36% healthy : 0.05% healthy so 7.2 times greater than seasonal, for healthy people.

EDIT: I seem to recall an early report saying 40-50% of deaths had co-morbidity factors.
