721,895 new cases and 985 new deaths.\u00a0 Before Day 107 the number of new cases and new deaths always increased, after Day 107 the numbers of new cases and new deaths always decreased.\u00a0 Since 44,803,629 people caught the Flu and 61,099 died in 2017-2018, the half way point would be about 22,401,814 total cases and 30,556 total deaths, exactly what my bell curve indicates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now, some of you are old enough to remember the Iran Hostage Crisis of the late 70s.\u00a0 Each night, ABC News (Nightline) would devote an hour of broadcast time to provide updates of the dramatic standoff.\u00a0 Their programming would usually start out by saying something provocative, such as, \u201cAmerica Held Hostage &#8211; Day 142\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is how I am going to report the numbers to you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have figured out what the statistics would be for each day of the Flu in 2017-2018.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The CDC has been tracking what the statistics are for each day of the Coronavirus since it began on January 12, 2020.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On day 90 of the Coronavirus Crisis, there have been 33,288 new cases and 1,927 new deaths, bringing the total to 423,537 overall cases and 19,332 overall deaths.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On day 90 of the 2017-2018 Flu season, there were 508,493 new cases and 792 new deaths, bringing the total to 10,925,917 overall cases and 14,903 overall deaths.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is a fact that more deaths are being attributed to the Coronavirus than the Seasonal Flu, but the total number of cases is totally dwarfed by comparison.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now, here are the Ten Leading Causes of Death in 2017.\u00a0 I suppose these numbers reflect a period of time between January 1<sup>st<\/sup> and December 31<sup>st<\/sup>, 2017, so they do not directly align with the 2017-2018 Flu season.\u00a0 The 55,672 deaths attributed to the Flu would theoretically contain data from the last half of the 2016-2017 Flu Season, and the first half of the 2017-2018 Flu season.<\/p>\n<table width=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"256\"><strong>Leading Causes of Death in the United States<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Cause <\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"102\"><strong>Deaths 2017<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\">Heart Disease<\/td>\n<td width=\"102\">647,457<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\">Cancer<\/td>\n<td width=\"102\">599,108<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\">Accidents<\/td>\n<td width=\"102\">169,936<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\">Respiratory Diseases<\/td>\n<td width=\"102\">160,201<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\">Stroke<\/td>\n<td width=\"102\">146,383<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\">Alzheimer&#8217;s<\/td>\n<td width=\"102\">121,404<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\">Diabetes<\/td>\n<td width=\"102\">83,564<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\">Flu and Pneumonia<\/td>\n<td width=\"102\">55,672<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\">Nephritis (Kidney)<\/td>\n<td width=\"102\">50,633<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\">Suicide<\/td>\n<td width=\"102\">47,173<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\">Homicide<\/td>\n<td width=\"102\">17,284<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/fastats\/leading-causes-of-death.htm\">www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/fastats\/leading-causes-of-death.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These numbers are important because they give me a legitimate reason to suspect that the criteria we used to attribute a death to the Flu in 2017-2018 was different than the criteria we use to attribute a death to COVID19 today.\u00a0 I suspect that if we had used the same criteria in 2017-2018 that we use for COVID19 now, the death count would\u2019ve been much higher for the Flu in 2017-2018.\u00a0 Likewise, I also suspect that if we used criteria from 2017-2018 and applied it to COVID19, the death count would be lower.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>In other words, the criteria we\u2019re using to attribute deaths to COVID19 are inflating the numbers compared to other years of the Flu.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Of the 1,927 deaths, we attribute to COVID19 today, perhaps only about 800 of them would have been attributed to the Flu in 2017-2018.\u00a0 For instance, if a patient in 2017 died of heart failure after they got the flu, the cause of death would have been listed as Heart Failure, not the Flu.\u00a0 But, now, if a patient dies of heart failure, and they were simultaneously testing positive for COVID19, the cause of death would be listed as COVID19, not heart failure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recently, Dr. Deborah L.
