We’ve reached a grim coronavirus milestone

Flu deaths overstated
Another important number behind the numbers, one that is sometimes stated incorrectly: The average number of U.S. flu deaths for the past nine seasons (2010–11 through 2018–19) is 37,461. The range is 12,000 to 61,000. But annual flu deaths are always estimated by the CDC, rather than involving firm numbers. The reported figures involve complex math and assumptions about unreported cases.
A more recent analysis by Jeremy Faust, MD, who practices emergency medicine at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, suggests that the CDC grossly overstates flu deaths, and therefore Covid-19 has so far “killed between 9.5 and 44 times more people than seasonal flu.”
