Here is the source for his data:

https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/mortality.html

The specific reason I do not post this chart on the FB thread is that they do not understand how then CDC calculates their numbers. Very few deaths are actually recorded as flu deaths, the rest are estimated. If you die from pneumonia from ANY cause, it gets lumped in to those stats.

The suspected mismanagement of essential supplies during Hurricane Maria turned out to be a boon for Puerto Rico as it fights a rise in coronavirus cases.

Health Secretary Lorenzo González said Saturday that officials discovered a cache of urgently needed personal protective equipment at a hospital in the nearby island of Vieques that remains closed since the Category 4 storm hit the U.S. territory in September 2017.

He said the equipment includes face masks, gloves, gowns and face shields that were in good condition and would be distributed to health institutions.

Flu stats are a dumpster fire.
