I had seen those figures too. Did not share them to avoid a outrage shitstorm upon my head (and also because, who knows, I might have misused them – there are so many ways a non-expert like me can misuse numbers).

Do you know what percentage of those children got a flu vaccine, if the schools in the areas that were hit hardest closed, and what percentage had other issues if they survived? What's the case fatality rate? The problem with raw data is no context.
