Average flu season is about 3 months. Splitting the difference, that’s about 45k deaths or 15k per month WITH A VACCINE
I'm not sure I agree with the numbers in these two sentences.
The time frame is off, and your math doesn't work out based on those three months and the numbers you provided in the title.

quote:Yeah. The flu season is like 8 months anyways, but the reason it’s only 8 months is that it tends to go away in the summer, which didn’t happen with COVID.

Not to mention the flu kills in average about 38,000 (not 45,000) and COVID deaths (and cases with little testing) didn’t really start until March with the CDC’s official “start date” is February 1st.
The OP basically misrepresented every data point he provided.
