2016/17 68,000 died from regular flu. Italy has one of the highest mortality rates from the flu.

They really don’t like Italy. They consider Italy as a crap hole. With what’s going on now, each for his own.
 Quoting: The Blessed


Um, so that study period was 4 years , not a couple of months.

“The objective of our study was to estimate the influenza-attributable contribution to excess mortality during the influenza seasons from 2013/14 to 2016/17 in Italy......We estimated excess deaths of 7,027, 20,259, 15,801 and 24,981 attributable to influenza epidemics in the 2013/14, 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17”

They’ve had rough years, esp 2016-2017, but not 68,000 in 3 months.
Me thinks you accidentally greatly exaggerated the last flu season in Italy. They definitely do have higher rates of flu death though.

I’m just a stickler for facts. I appreciate the article you linked- it was very interesting and good for thought for sure
 Quoting: aquamosaic


Me thinks you are trying to make "winter season" to mean a FULL year. Sorry - not true. Winter season is 5-6 months divide 6 into 68,000 to get a per month death rate.

Re: Breaking!! Italy is requesting US military support for coronavirus battle
Going by this article that someone posted above but failed to read properly, Italy on average has appx 17,000 flu deaths a season. If we go by winter months, we'll say 4 just to be fair (usually more like 5) That'd be a little over 4,000 deaths a month.. and these are during some BAD flu seasons.. using these numbers.. The Coronavirus just this past week has outdone some of the worst flu MONTHS Italy has seen in the recent years.. Their death rate in 2 days is worse than an entire week of deaths in a bad flu season..

That means in 2013/14 there were 7,027 deaths.. in 2014/15 there were 20,259 deaths, in 2015/16 there were 15,801 deaths, in 2016/17 there were 24,921 deaths..
