About 300 COVID-19-associated deaths were occurring weekly in May, according to the most recent provisional CDC data.

So I looked up for comparison CDC’s flu stats, for 2023-2024 season:

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm

according to this CDC page there was a lower limit of about 25,000 deaths to flu per year (2023-2024) which comes out to about 480 / week on average

I suppose then multiple questions are asked, like do we have a flu pandemic if there are worse deaths? Do we not take flu seriously? Do we take “covid” too seriously? Are covid deaths just flu deaths? etc.

Chime in on your thoughts of the data
