Who cares about the deadly flu season every year when you have a mass panic and hysteria fueled by politicians and the media! Blissful ignorance every year!

Notice what wide ranges of the estimates the CDC provides! Because flu infections are neglected every year! Oh, it's just the flu, not much to worry about, comes every year!

If you take the mid-points of these estimates below you have:

1. 47 million infected Americans with flu or almost every 7 American
2. 575 thousand hospitalizations
3. 43 thousand deaths

2019-2020 U.S. Flu Season: Preliminary Burden Estimates

CDC estimates* that, from October 1, 2019, through April 4, 2020, there have been:

39,000,000 – 56,000,000
flu illnesses

18,000,000 – 26,000,000
flu medical visits

410,000 – 740,000
flu hospitalizations

24,000 – 62,000
flu deaths

*Because influenza surveillance does not capture all cases of flu that occur in the U.S., CDC provides these estimated ranges to better reflect the larger burden of influenza. These estimates are calculated based on CDC’s weekly influenza surveillance data and are preliminary.

**Influenza testing across the United States may be higher than normal at this time of year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. These estimates may partly reflect increases in testing in recent weeks and may be adjusted downward once the season is complete and final data for the 2019/20 season are available.
