Doesn’t seem like they’re downplaying it.
'The 1918 flu pandemic (January 1918 – December 1920) was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic, the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus.[1] It infected 500 million people around the world,[2] including remote Pacific islands and the Arctic, and resulted in the deaths of 50 to 100 million (three to five percent of the world's population),[3] making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history."

How to tell this year’s flu hysteria is all hype by Michael Fumento

A posting like this cheapens Freerepublic. The uninformed are always around, even here.
So 2017-2018 is on track to be "as bad" as 2014-2015—three years ago, right? So what's the big deal?
What earth-shattering news—flu seasons fluctuate, and some years are much worse than others! OMG!
What a bunch of hysteria! Maybe the President should declare Martial Law—or not.
Boy! Talk about a "tempest in a teapot"...
Why is this person counting pneumonia deaths as flu deaths?
This flu is indeed crazy. All I can do is offer advice; I’m not a doctor. Take Echinacea (immune system booster) right away, if you even are around someone coughing. Use hand sanitizer like you have OCD.
Wash your hands, don’t touch your face before washing. That’s all I got.
“Tens Of Thousands Of Americans Are DYING”
well, yes, of all causes over the course of a week or so. but of the flu? bullshit. fake news.
Could part of the problem be all the foreigners/refugees/illegals the obama and the democrats dumped on us?
We know what happened to so many native Americans when the Europeans came over here.
Well I had that H1N1 flu back then and ended up in the hospital. Now I wonder if my chem trail friends will find the missing link to this virus?
I don’t have the flu, but I’m having the worst episode of asthma I have ever experienced in my life. It usually last just a few weeks. This thing has dragged on since before New Years Eve. The symptoms are finally subsiding, yes, but there is still a great deal of coughing and rattling congestion.
It’s annoying and embarrassing. I’m often thinking ‘Will this never end?’
I don’t know if there’s any relation to the Flu Breakout.
I can only say Thank God for my doctors at the Veterans Hospital in San Francisco. I know my problems are itty-bitty compared to millions of others.
Get your SHOT, citizens!
The flu virus constantly mutates. Each year the pharmaceutical companies make a vaccine for what they think is the next mutations. It is really a crap shoot. Sometimes they are right and as in this year they are wrong. That is just the way it is.

A few years ago when we had another flu epidemic, probably not as bad as this one. One of the Freepers suggested NAC (N-acetyl-cysteine) and I have been taking it ever since. About a small tsp of NAC and about 1 + 1/2 tsp of calcium ascorbate (C) and it has been working like a charm. There is plenty of info available about NAC and what it can do for you. And it is not just good for flu either, recommend very highly to read up on it, just Google for it.
IT IS NOT THE FLU
I read this years shot is only rated 10-20% effective.
It says if you have the flu you’re gonna die.
Or something like that.
Health/life BUMP!
