deaths from the regular flu last year to almost zero this year.  Looks like flu deaths are getting lumped into Covid to pack the numbers for the libs.  So whatever the final death toll is, it can be reduced by 75,000, because if there was no Covid, that many people still would have died from the regular flu.

The CDC says there were only 22,000 deaths from the flu during the 2019/2020 flu season. Even the WORST season for flu deaths -- 2017/2018 -- was 61,000.
Please stop putting up bogus numbers. Or at least stop calling other posters liars.
As for cutting the number of flu deaths, most experts figure if we'd had a remotely competent response there would have been AT LEAST 150,000 fewer deaths.
Thans, Don!

We can't really trust previous flu death numbers because they weren't tracked as closely nor assigned as the default cause of death.  In the past if someone with co-morbidities died with the flu, the cause was not necessarily listed as due to the flu.  Now it is standard practice to count any death with covid as caused by covid.   Flu deaths in the pass were extrapolated from a model.  So really can't compare numbers.

Those are cdc numbers. BTW in the previous years comorbidity is flu+underlying causes!
