said, "I am very interested where you got the flyer image from? Do you have a link? (That has a high level of flu deaths in 2017-18)"
Right click on the image I posted it says CDC dot gov.
Ok I see why they are different. The flyer was made before the correction and final report. I see that happen a lot on static material like flyers. The website will often be update first before flyers.
Look at this section here that explains (their disclaimer): Why the estimates on this page are different from previously published and reported estimates for 2017-2018
The final report is here:
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden-averted/2017-2018.htm
Conclusion: "CDC estimates that influenza was associated with 45 million illnesses, 21 million medical visits, 810,000 hospitalizations, and 61,000 deaths during the 2017–2018 influenza season. This burden was higher than any season since the 2009 pandemic and serves as a reminder of how severe seasonal influenza can be."
The flyer is incorrect. The numbers in Conclusions are
without Social Distancing and lock downs.
The estimate for the Coronavirus is 100K to 200K with lockdown and Social Distancing and 1 Million to 2.5 Million
without lock down and social distancing.
I really wonder how low the Flu numbers would be with lock downs and social distancing... Are maybe the hospitals for the Flu are not overrun and do not require lock down/social distancing to save lives.
