Re: “How many people die annually from the regular flu?”
The most in the last 10 years was 61,000 in 2018.
I think the lowest was 12,000 in 2012.
COVID deaths and flu and common cold deaths are not counted the same way.
Presumed (untested) COVID deaths are counted as confirmed COVID deaths.
Presumed (untested) flu and common cold deaths are not counted.
Also, 100% of pneumonia + COVID deaths are counted as COVID deaths.
But, less than 10% of pneumonia + flu deaths are counted as flu deaths.
If the CDC counted flu and common cold deaths the same way it counts COVID deaths, we would have 150,000 flu and common cold deaths EVERY year!
Average age?
