Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu. Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!
POTUS sez, IT’S JUST THE FLU, BRO!!!
I bet the D’s are going to lose their minds, again, over that one.
Zero people died in America for eight years under Obama/Biden...zero!
Influenza kills an average of 36,000 people each year. The most flu deaths in one year within the last 10 years was 61,000 (2017-2018). Over 100,000 deaths from flu is extremely rare, happening only twice in the last 100 years (1957-1958 and 1968). You can find one more if you go back to 1918 (102 years ago). Looking back before that, Russian flu in 1890 was considered bad, and that cost an estimated 13,000 lives in the US.
