The actual number of deaths due to regular flu is much, much less - DVDmom posted up thread the actual statistic kept by the CDC.

And if you subtract the number of deaths due to secondary bacterial infections (such as pneumonia), the number is A LOT less. The number of deaths due to seasonal influenza could be smaller still if autopsies were conducted -- many older patients are lumped into the group without definitive proof of death causation.

This is true. We don’t know because science is not a part of this “epidemic.”
