Last flu season total deaths in the U.S. was around 80,000

What if this year the total number of flu deaths and CV deaths (real CV deaths) COMBINED totals around 32,000?

To be perfectly clear I am saying that what if CV ends up replacing some number of Flu deaths where the overall total is about the same? I'm just curious.

My understanding is you have added a zero to your number
(Last year was 8K to 14K depending on who you ask)

Well if we were able to save just one life by shutting everything down at a cost of over two trillion dollars (that we don't have) and millions of jobs then it was all worth it
