FYI 5 year Influenza death totals
I was asked recently about how covid-19 numbers compared to the average influenza season. The only hard numbers to match for comparison are deaths. According to the CDC web site, over the last 5 flu seasons in the US the number (rounded) of deaths are as follows. 2019 34,200, 2018 61,000, 2017 38,000, 2016 23,000, 2015 51,000. Average year 41,440 deaths.
