50,000 Americans Expected To Die By The End Of Flu Season

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


More than 50,000 Americans are expected to die from the influenza this season, the highest on record since an epidemic outbreak in 2014, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Experts say the 2017-2018 flu season has been unique in that the virus is not spiking in different areas at different times, but is maintaining a high rate of infection across the entirety of the U.S. at once, Bloomberg reported. More worrying is that the flu appears to be affecting older generations more than usual, with baby boomers having a higher rate of hospitalization than their grandchildren. Children still make up the largest number of infections, however.

“This rapid increase in cases that we have been seeing is after the winter holidays, and while it’s among all ages, it’s higher in children,” Dan Jernigan, director of the influenza division at the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases told Bloomberg. “It looks like a big part of the later January activity is flu transmission from kids returning to school.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and health officials have likened the outbreaks — which have remained steady for the past three weeks — to the epidemic of 2014-2015 that entailed 710,000 hospitalizations and 56,000 deaths.

“We often see different parts of the country light up at different times, but for the past three weeks the entire country has been experiencing lots of flu, all at the same time,” Jernigan said.

Young boomers between 50-65 who typically resist the flu well are make up the second-most hospitalizations, just behind the elderly. Among younger generations, seven children died this last week alone, and 37 have died in total, according to Bloomberg. Hospitals in New York admitted 1,759 confirmed influenza patients during the week that ended on Jan. 20, according to the Wall Street Journal, and New York has proven to be one of the lease affected states.

Minnesota has seen the rate of hospitalization double the 2014-2015 rate, and California’s has increased four-fold.

      Will BIN Contributors – Please Pl eeeeeea se STOP PROPAGATING – FAKE TOTAL HOAX – CDC / Big PHARMA /GOVERNMENT
      and – Lamestram media LIES

      Perhaps readers could also stop – clicking “Recommended Contributor” too.

      ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

      In 2018 – we are getting …. a repeat of the 2009 Swine Flu “FEAR PORN” stories and LIES

      (The WHO even doubled down – with the LIES – By Declaring 2009 Swine Flu – A PANDEMIC)

      Some >>> FACTS

      From The World Health Organization – WHO

      H1N1 now in the…. post-pandemic period
      10 August 2010 <<>> Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 – update 112
      Weekly update
      6 August 2010 – As of 1 August 2010,<<<<>>> laboratory confirmed cases of pandemic influenza
      H1N1 2009, including over >>>>> 18449 deaths. ……..http://www.who.int/csr/don/2010_08_06/en/

      Comment – Taking a very broad brush AVERAGE
      - 18,449 Flu Confirmed Deaths – from 214 Countries reporting – equals a very embarrassing

      >>> 87 Swine Flu Deaths ….. PER Country
      ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

      HOW DANGEROUS IS – SWINE FLU
      What Can You Learn From History …. Re Fatalities From “Swine Flu” ?

      Again back in 1976 we trusted industry and their appointed government lackeys about the swine flu vaccine, but ….
      - the vaccine ended up killing ….. 300 times more people …..than the flu itself!

      It was 1976, and an outbreak of swine flu supposedly threatened the lives
      of…… millions.

      But instead of the flu killing millions of people, >>>>> it claimed ONE life,

      whereas the vaccine turned out to contain the real danger.

      ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

      See the chart on the left of the WSJ (Wall street Journal)
      - those “TINY” BLACK dots at the bottom of the bar chart – are REAL DEATH Certificate….. Reported FLU DEATHS.
      - Those huge RED Bars above
      - are the CDC reported media … “Fear Porn” figures

      Peer Reviewed Science Medical Journal Published

      In 2001 Gov Claimed – 63,000 + died of Flu in the USA – The “Real” Truth >>> JUST 18 …. DIED OF FLU

      Read the >>>>> British Medical Journal (The BMJ)

      (BMJ 2005; 331:1412):

      “[According to CDC statistics], ‘influenza and pneumonia’ took 62,034 lives in 2001

      —BUT >>> 61,777 of which were – actually ….attributable to >>> pneumonia (NOT FLU)

      - and (JUST) >>> 257 to flu,
      ( and in only >>> 18 cases >>> was the flu virus …. positively identified.”)

      You see, the CDC has created … one overall category….. that combines both flu and pneumonia deaths.
      - Why do they do this?
      - Because they disingenuously “assume” (No Proof) that the pneumonia deaths are complications stemming from the flu.

      This is an absurd assumption. Pneumonia has a number of causes.

      But even worse, in all the flu and pneumonia deaths, >>>> only 18 revealed …. the presence….. of an influenza virus.

      Therefore, the CDC could not say, with assurance of PROOF
      - that any more than >>> 18 people”” died of influenza in 2001. >>> Not 36,000 deaths. ….. JUST >>> 18 deaths.

      (CNN)
      Here’s a look at the H1N1 influenza virus, also known as swine flu.
      There was a pandemic outbreak – across the globe – which lasted from 2009 to 2010.

      Confirmed human cases of H1N1:
      April 2009-April 2010

      Fatalities …. Worldwide – 18,500 laboratory – confirmed deaths

      Can you folks stop panicking?

      8.5 million people live in NYC and surrounding boroughs. 1,759/8,500,000 = 0.0002069 x 100 = a whopping 0.020% of the population going to the hospital.

      I’ll bet there are more people in the hospitals with heart attacks than the flu! I live in western NY and my brother works for a school district here and said there’s no flu epidemic. All you have to do is drive around and tons of people are going about their daily lives.

      Sad there are those who do get it and have complications and die. Very sad but let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water. :mad:

      SENATOR Bernie Sanders – Med Mistakes 3rd Biggest Killer
      https://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/medical-mistakes

      Preventable medical errors in hospitals are the…. third leading cause of death …. in the United States,
      a Senate panel was told on Thursday.
      - Only heart disease and cancer kill more Americans.

      “Medical harm is a major cause of suffering, disability, … and death – as well as a huge financial cost to our nation,” Sen. Bernie Sanders said at the outset of the hearing by the Senate Subcommittee on Primary Health and Aging. 

      “This is a problem that has not received anywhere near the attention ….. that it deserves
      and today I hope that we can focus a spotlight on this matter of such grave consequence,” added Sanders, the panel’s chairman.

      The Journal of Patient Safety recently published a study which concluded that as many as
      ….. 440,000 people die ….
      each year from preventable medical errors…. in hospitals.

      Tens of thousands…. also die from preventable mistakes…. outside hospitals,….. such as deaths from missed diagnoses …. or because of injuries …. from medications.
