The flu caused between 37.4 million and 42.9 million illnesses in the US during the 2018-19 season; between 531,000 and 647,000 hospitalizations; and between 36,400 and 61,200 deaths, the CDC estimated.

Deaths markedly declined season over season; the 2017-18 flu season, the deadliest in four decades, topped 80,000 deaths, including 180 children. By comparison, 116 laboratory-confirmed deaths in children were caused by flu during the 2018-19 season.

Do you have a link showing we chose 30% unemployment and the total destruction of the economy in an efforts to mitigate hospitalizations and 80,000 deaths during the 2017-2018 outbreak?
