For years health officials have been publishing huge numbers of flu deaths that occur every year in the U.S. But now that people are comparing flu death numbers to coronavirus numbers, health officials are putting the brakes on the flu counts by admitting flu deaths are estimates, and not the actual numbers on death certificates.
On the other hand, even though they insist coronavirus death numbers are much higher than the flu death estimates, the CDC admits that the current coronavirus death count is only provisional — and may be overcounted or undercounted.
