Specifically thinking of stuff that make your life better in the long run but all kinds of answers are welcome!

I’ve recently learnt about lifetraps and it’s made a huge positive impact on how I view myself and my relationships

        The CDC themselves, from the very link you just posted…

        100 a day is 36 500 deaths per year. Have a look at the deaths per year on your link:

        2010-2011: 37 000

        2012-2013: 43 000

        2013-2014: 38 000

        2014-2015: 51 000

        2016-2017: 38 000

        2017-2018: 52 000

        From 2010-2011 to 2018-2019, a 9 year range, 322 000 flu deaths were estimated. That is 35 778 deaths per year from the flu. That’s almost 100 per day.

        Covid onward can’t be used because anyone that had covid or covid symptoms just got ruled as a covid death, even if they died with covid but not because of covid. The actual deaths caused by covid are significantly lower than what is reported due to this, and this isn’t some conspiracy theory either. This is just how covid deaths are counted. Died and had covid? Covid death even if they had a heart attack or got hit by a bus. Many of the covid deaths actually would have been flu deaths in reality.

        What exactly were you looking at on that page to make you think I was wrong? That’s literally where I got the numbers from in the first place lol

          I apologize. For some reason, when I read your comment, my brain said, “100,000 flu deaths a year?! That can’t be right!” So yes, there’s an average of 100 American flu deaths per day. Thank you for the correction, and I apologize again.
