Flu Cases and Deaths by Year in the United States
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Every day, Monday through Friday, I will try to post an update to the numbers at the bottom of the table. The CDC says their page will be updated regularly at noon Mondays through Fridays, and that the numbers close out at 4 p.m. the day before reporting.
It is important that we keep things in Context and Perspective.
