IHME model has readjusted from 2.2 million US death to 60K, which is avg seasonal FLU deaths.
The average flu season isn’t close to 60K US deaths. Rush struck out.

More than 200,000 people are hospitalized each year in the United States for the flu illness and its complications and between 3,000 and 49,000 people die each year from the flu. The number of flu deaths every year varies. For example, The average number of flu deaths during the 1990s was 36,000. Average number over a longer time frame from 1976 to 2007 was 23,607 deaths. If you take the number of deaths year wise, you will find a vast variation with a low of 3,349 deaths during the flu season of 1986-87 to a high of 48,614 in 2003-04.

According to the CDC, the flu kills a surprising 3,300 to 49,000 people every year. This rather high number varies greatly in any given year, and according to many health experts is pretty exaggerated. Most years, US death certificates show fewer than 300 deaths attributed to the flu. A large issue in determining the actual number of flu-related deaths is differentiating the flu from other more serious illnesses with flu-like symptoms.

Lol....soooo the data you present shows averages from the 70’s 80’s and 90’s with the most recent being 2007.....when the world has become vastly more global within the past decade.....which conveniently wouldn’t be included in your post.....and then to contradict yourself to quote that it is difficult to even determine the exact number of deaths related to the flu.....hahahahaha great post baw you got me convinced!!

It’s crazy to think we have so many more deaths from COVID than we do the flu seeing how we have that COVID vaccination that people can take each year. Oh wait, it’s the flu we have a vaccine for and still have tens of thousands of deaths each year. Point Rush!

The 2017-2018 flu season had 80,000 people in the US died from the flu.
Not one business shut down, and hospitals were not over run with patients. Hospitals were very busy, but none claimed to be over run with flu patients.
Some people dying from COVID would also die if they got the flu or other type of illnesses. Most are over weight, diabetic, and have high blood pressure.
If a person has these symptoms, lung disease, leukemia, HIV or other serious illnesses, this could cause them to die. These people should have "Stay at home" orders. Everyone else can get back to business as usual, and stay away from the "Stay at Home" crowd.

Do health officials attribute every single death during Flu season to the Flu like we are seeing with the KingFlu or are they being coded as COD due to the myriad of other health issues many have?
