An estimated 80,000 Americans died of flu and its complications last winter, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This means it was the deadliest season in more than four decades -- since 1976, the date of the first published paper reporting total seasonal flu deaths, said CDC Spokeswoman Kristen Nordlund.


In previous seasons, flu-related deaths have ranged from a low of about 12,000 during the 2011-2012 season to a high of about 56,000 during the 2012-2013.

This was for the year 2017 and I remember quite vividly and I am certain, accurately, how much damage we did to the country when we told everyone to go home and "Shelter in Place" because it was the right thing to.

We even excoriated governors and mayors for their overreaction back then

Now look at us

I look forward to learning how many deaths there were for this flu/cold season and we better learn PDQ no later than July...

Yeah, sure.
And Wikipedia has been trying to change the name from “Spanish Flu”.

I saw that. We will have to burn all books and publications that ever identified that way.

Each White House briefing that I’ve watched has been like a Pro-Am fight, with the president and his staff/advisors being the Pros and the leftist, anti-Trump media being the Ams.

Where did the Left get all those nasty, whiny little bitches (Peter Alexander and Jim Acosta included)? I’ve killed scorpions nicer than them.

The title of social distance pro and hide and seek champion of all times goes to Jimmy Hoffa.

Probably because our medical establishment doesn’t want a cure for the flu viruses or anything else really. Treat the symptoms is the name of the game. Too much money to be made. A small percentage of the population knows how with flu viruses, but the vast big herd worship the men in white coats and hang on every word they say. imo
