bigwave Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Flu season deaths top 80,000 last year, CDC says - And The County Was Not Closed Then! (CNN)An estimated 80,000 Americans died of flu and its complications last winter, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This means it was the deadliest season in more than four decades -- since 1976, the date of the first published paper reporting total seasonal flu deaths, said CDC Spokeswoman Kristen Nordlund. In previous seasons, flu-related deaths have ranged from a low of about 12,000 during the 2011-2012 season to a high of about 56,000 during the 2012-2013. Total flu fatalities during the most recent season included the deaths of 180 children, which exceeds the previous record high of 171 during a non-pandemic flu season, according to the CDC. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/09/26/health/flu-deaths-2017--2018-cdc-bn/index.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
