Which is too high, but god damn, it’s not over 700,000 in less than 2 years!!!

And YEAH, we should probably take the flu and other, less deadly illnesses seriously too, by having a health care system that prioritizes the health of the public over the profits of private corporations. I suspect if we did that, we would not have over 700,000 die in a pandemic or 22,000 die from the flu every year…
