US data =>
CDC estimates that influenza was associated with more than 35.5 million illnesses, more than 16.5 million medical visits, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths during the 2018–2019 influenza.

So in 2018 there were 144 flu deaths in China vs 34,000 in the US.
Sounds believable...
144 death in China due to flu in 2018.
Unless there’s a mistake of missing out a factor of (at least) 1000 (instead of 144, it is 144k), what is the other cause of death in China? Old age?
All this said is that China has been cooking their books since who knows when.
Yeah. more dishonest information emanating from the land of the ironfisted Panda.
The total number of flu deaths last year was 144, compared with 56 in 2016 and 41 in 2017.

Yeah... right.... oooohkaaaay! Sure, you bet! Excepting all the bat and pangolin eaters, and drinkers of civet piss. The elite of chinese primitives. Now that’s real medicine!
Different countries count deaths differently. In the US if you have an underlying condition, like a heart problem or diabetes and you get the flu and die then the cause of death is the flu. In China if you have an underlying condition and get the flu they list the underlying condition as the cause of death.
Well In China if you have the virus and they shoot you, then the death isn’t counted as coming from the virus.
Maybe, but they didn’t count that it that way with the Wuhan virus.
