And probably a lot more than that per unexpected deaths.

:(

That just makes me really sad.

What makes me even more sad is that for too many people, it doesn't fucking matter.

It's helpful when I need context with how many people that is that I remind myself that it's 9x as many people as live in my county.

It's insane that it's been allowed to get this way

My mom is a full-blown Trumper now, and now one of her talking points is how the flu kills close to 100K people in america and we don't shut down or wear masks for that. I couldn't believe that what she takes away from that is that we shouldn't wear masks or do anything now. Imo that means we should instead wear masks every year during flu season.

Why are people so heartless?

:(

"Freedom" and "exceptionalism", and moreover the Just World Fallacy. Bad things only happen to bad people. I'm not a bad people so I'm immune.

Republicans have a fucked up understanding of freedom, considering they think mask mandates are a violation of freedom, but not women being told what to do with their body or people being thrown in jail for smoking weed

and that number of 100k is absolute bullshit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_influenza_statistics_by_flu_season

the highest death count we've had from the flu in recent years was 61k in 2017-2018, and that was a bit of an outlier.

if we average out the deaths per year since 2011 we have a mean of 37.4k / year. anyone who spouts that number of 100k flu deaths / year should not be taken seriously because they're woefully misinformed.
