37. Of course you know

That the 40k number, the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, is actually for flu and pnemonia, and is a statistical estimate, not a gross count of actual mortality. Buy I have no reason to suspect the CDC numbers here. What I would be interested to know is how many of these people were between the age of 5 and 65, not immuno-supressed or suffering from another chronic illness or condition? I guess technically my grandfather died of pnemonia, but he really died of being 89, having a weak heart and kidneys.
