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 now says their page will be updated 7 days a week at noon, and that the numbers close out at 4 p.m. ET the day before reporting.

It is important that we keep things in Context and Perspective.  Beware of Sensational reports using Anecdotal Evidence implying that the Coronavirus is an Angel of Death; absolutely every other strain of Flu can also be Sensationalized in the same manner, they’re just not.

Meanwhile, as the Nation’s attention has been solely focused on the Coronavirus since Jan. 12, 2020, here’s how the other strains of Flu have been ravaging our communities since Oct. 1, 2019.  Please be mindful of the victims and their families of these other strains of Flu, because their suffering is being totally ignored by the News Media, as it was last year, and the year before that, and the year before that…

Analyzing a Scary Death Rate

 

Analyzing a Scary Death Rate

 

It is now being reported by the following website that approximately 19% of the people whose Coronavirus cases have been resolved have died.  This is a very Scary Death Rate.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Here is the About Page:

https://www.worldometers.info/about/

The website calls this Death Rate the Case Fatality Ratio (CFR), and it is calculated by dividing the number of deaths by the number of closed (resolved) cases.  In other words, a case is closed when either the patient dies or recovers.

If you go to the website you’ll see two boxes right below their featured numbers.  One box is labeled “Active Cases”, and the other box is labeled “Closed Cases”.   The Scary Death Rate that I’m referring to was retrieved from the box labeled “Closed Cases”.  In that box there is also a link to a graph.

If you look at that graph you will notice the Line which represents Recoveries (green) and the Line which represents Deaths (orange) starts off close together in February and quickly begins to diverge to a more realistic Death Rate.  From early March, however, they’ve been slowly converging.

Why?  What’s happening?

After an initial emotional reaction, my rational side began to kick in.

In my younger years, I was a Data Analyst for a large electronics corporation, it was my job to “crunch” data and make sense of it.

Barring anything “sinister”, I believe I know what’s going on.

I humbly hypothesize, with this and most other infectious diseases, that the Case Fatality Ratio would be very high at the beginning of a new outbreak.  The first cases to close would be those involving the Most Affected and the Least Affected.  In other words, since the weakest die right away and the strongest recover right away, their cases are closed first.  The patients who are neither the strongest nor the weakest, the vast majority, will take longer to resolve their cases.  They’re in for a longer fight but the numbers show they are far more likely to recover than not.  Right now the World Case Fatality Ratio is very high because there has been a new outbreak in Europe and the United States, but that number will drop and the lines diverge as time passes.

It is very difficult to calculate the Death Rate of a disease in progress; the most accurate Death Rates are calculated after the disease has run its course.  Generally, the Death Rate is lower in the final numbers than when the disease was active, although, there have been a few instances where the rate actually increased.

This same website provides a good read on calculating a Mortality Rate here:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/

I predict (I’m not certain) the final Death Rate for the Coronavirus will be a little higher than the regular flu, around 2% rather than 0.2%.  I don’t see it getting any higher than 5%.  The 5% number is the best the CFR has achieved so far, according to the website, but it is running better than that in China (if you can believe it).  The CFR in China is 4% and in South Korea its 3%.

CDC Coronavirus 03-26-2020

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. ET the day before reporting.

It is important that we keep things in Context and Perspective.  Beware of Sensational reports using Anecdotal Evidence implying that the Coronavirus is an Angel of Death; absolutely every other strain of Flu can also be Sensationalized in the same manner, they’re just not.

Season Reported Cases Deaths
H1N1 (2009-2010) 60,800,000 12,469
2010-2011 21,286,119 36,656
2011-2012 9,315,621 12,447
2012-2013 33,679,171 42,570
2013-2014 29,739,994 37,930
2014-2015 30,165,452 51,376
2015-2016 23,504,319 22,705
2016-2017 29,220,523 38,230
2017-2018 44,803,629 61,099
2018-2019 35,500,000 34,200
COVID19 (2020) 68,440 994

 

Meanwhile, as the Nation’s attention has been solely focused on the Coronavirus since Jan. 12, 2020, here’s how the other strains of Flu have been ravaging our communities since Oct. 1, 2019.  Please be mindful of the victims and their families of these other strains of Flu, because their suffering is being totally ignored by the News Media, as it was last year, and the year before that, and the year before that…
