According to the 2014-2015 CDC reports:
Season.............Estimate Afflicted...............Estimate Deaths
2014-2015........30,000,000..........................51 ,000
2015-2016........24,000,000..........................23 ,000
2016-2017........29,000,000..........................38 ,000
Where was all the rage for 2014-2015? My non-medical, non-professional opinion; Trexller nailed it. In the other thread "what happened to journalism".....crap like this is why I don't put much faith in journalism. I'm one of those dirty capitalists that thinks businesses should turn a profit; HOWEVER when an industry has the ability to turn society on itself for profit there needs to be some sort of accountability/liability for creating a mess.
