Hate when people use the more people die from the flu every year crap. Its miss leading at best lies at worst. I attached the study/statement on the flu from the CDC in which they admit nearly all those deaths are from complications from other health problems being exacerbated by the flu, also that 90 percent of those people are elderly over 65 which is a high at risk health group. healthy people dont die from getting the Flu. Also they admit that they numbers are an educated guess because the dont really track case of flu caused deaths of people over 18.

"In addition, the study confirmed previous findings that about 90% of influenza associated deaths occur among adults 65 years and older." quote from that link to the CDC.

Its like when insurance companies say to be careful near home because most car accidents happen within 10 miles of your house. Well no S**t that's where I drive the most. Here a fact for my insurance company I will never get in a car accident in japan or china or Russia or Africa because I don't drive there.
