People die from the flu every year (2010-2019) least was 12k most was 61k with an average of 37k per year. cv19 very likely would have eclipsed the 61K (we're at 20k+ now). Add the "regular" flu and cv19 numbers and one would be faced with a huge number of deaths. The odd thing is hwd dependent we have become of the experts picking the right strains to put into the yearly vaccine. And then people yet need to have the shot to get antibodies.
