Flu killed nearly 10,000 Texans in 2017-2018

(EXCERPT)

In what was considered the worst season in years, the flu and related complications killed nearly 10,000 Texans in 2017-2018, according to state health officials.

The 9,470 deaths represent a spike of nearly 27 percent from the 7,459 deaths in the 2016-2017 season, and an increase of nearly 82 percent over the 5,215 deaths in 2015-2016, the only previous years when overall deaths were tracked.

The latest figures are likely not all-time highs, considering many past seasons were marked by similarly high hospitalization rates and more pediatric deaths.

“These death totals are a reminder of the toll this epidemic takes every year,” said Chris Van Deusen, director of media relations for the Texas Department of State Health Services. “It’s easy to let your guard down and see the flu as something that inevitably happens, that you get over. But lots of people don’t.”

Shhhshhh......The deep state hasn’t let the bubonic plague squirrels loose yet. Plan #1,359 on getting Trump.

See? Those cloth, dust, macrame masks worked.

The flu doesn’t cause permanent heart, lung and/or brain damage like this virus does in a large percentage of even young people who catch it.

This cannot be right.

Fauxci and Birx and the media and the politicians have all said otherwise.

the percent is not mortality rate, it is the current percent death of the entire population.

He raises questions about the flu numbers in various countries and how they mysteriously dropped off dramatically after one date.

Covid nearly killed my wife, and she’s had plenty of flu’s. So it aint just a flu. Overhyped by the media? Of course, thats what they do. But to do the opposite is just as stupid.

Business were bankrupted and ruined, careers ruined, retirements ruined. For this.

Greg Abbott should hang.

All of this is called “The Big Lie” and the big lie concept works better the bigger the lie is.

I WISH someone would do a study of Arizona deaths from Covid. Our REPUBLICAN Governor just closed gyms, etc., again. WHO IS REPORTING PHONY CASES FROM HERE? I had a Covid test back in May and asked at the time (the test wasn’t yet commonly done then) if the nurse had any idea of how many positives they had had. She said they had done about 500 tests at the time and had NO POSITIVES. That was early on, but I suspect that someone is cooking the books in Arizona just like Florida.

This is ALL political, ALL of it.

I’m really confused at those numbers. First, flu stats are so far off base, they are some of the most unreliable official numbers the government does. The official death numbers for flu are generally 5-100x higher than the actual confirmed numbers for flu deaths. But, let’s ignore that and assume your article’s chart is accurate.

165M tests, 35M positive, and 12M deaths in 2018. That gives a 33.7% death rate, not .04% like the chart lists. Likewise, an actual 66.3% recovery rate, where the chart says 99.96%. The only way their percentages make sense is if they’re using total Texas population, but obviously not everyone gets the virus (21% of those tested!), so how is their recovery number so high? Extrapolating that to the full population would make their (already inaccurate) death rate 5x higher than shown (for 2018). Likewise, 2019 would have a 6x higher death rate, and ChinaVirus would be 10x higher! The recovery number should only be based on positive tests, not total population that hasn’t died (even gotten infected).

And, of course, this doesn’t take into account all the fake positives, false positives, common cold positives, or subtract deaths that were more attributable to other causes, like getting run over by a bus.
