re: A little statistical reality for all you corona Nazis

quote:

---

2017/18 influenza deaths had 50,000+ American deaths by this time in the flu season.

---

And the official cause of death data attributed to the flu is often only 1/3 to 1/4 the estimates of the flu deaths.

In other words, the estimates of seasonal flu deaths is often 3 or 4 times the originally reported figures, and that’s the result of multiple flu strains and the peak is MONTHS into flu season (e.g., we’re only a little over a month since the first death in the US for COVID-19).
