And that was over the course of roughly 8 months, and FOUR STRAINS, with the 2 type A strains (H3N2 and H1N1) being the most severe (particularly H3N2) and occurring earlier in the season with the 2 Type B strains (Yamagata and Victoria) peaking later in the season in the Spring.

And the 43,000,000 cases (actually 45,000,000) refers to symptomatic cases, but even using those figures, and despite being one of the most severe season on record, that’s a case fatality rate (CFR) of 0.14%.
