CDC for various reasons, does not report precise numbers for overall flu death-but it estimates that from 2010-2016 “influenza has resulted in between 9.2 million & 60.8 million illnesses, between 140,000 & 710,000 hospitalizations & between 12,000 & 56,000 deaths/yr since 2010.

It was one of a flurry of articles that suggested (not very subtly) that US children would die because the CDC didn't have enough funds (which could be blamed on Trump). The day after my comment, the CDC Director had to resign for investing in Tobacco and Big Pharma shares. Hmm.
