Science: Flu has killed 25,000 Italians in a single winter – much more than COVID-19 – My Comments
Jan‘s Videos about the Portuguese
Here is a list of most (but not all) of my videos about the Portuguese...
[Here is another brilliant find from Nordlux Bellator. This is a science article. 68,000 Italians were killed by flu over 4 winters and nobody was screeching about it. The “deaths” from the false positives of Corona Virus, which has the Jewish media howling … is nothing by comparison to flu! Fishy hey? I smell a Jew rat. Jan]
Highlights
•
In the winter seasons from 2013/14 to 2016/17, an estimated average of 5,290,000 ILI cases occurred in Italy, corresponding to an incidence of 9%.
•
More than 68,000 deaths attributable to flu epidemics were estimated in the study period.
•
Italy showed a higher influenza attributable excess mortality compared to other European countries. especially in the elderly.
Results
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, respectively, using the Goldstein index. The average annual mortality excess rate per 100,000 ranged from 11.6 to 41.2 with most of the influenza-associated deaths per year registered among the elderly. However children less than 5 years old also reported a relevant influenza attributable excess death rate in the 2014/15 and 2016/17 seasons (1.05/100,000 and 1.54/100,000 respectively).
Conclusions
Over 68,000 deaths were attributable to influenza epidemics in the study period. The observed excess of deaths is not completely unexpected, given the high number of fragile very old subjects living in Italy. In conclusion, the unpredictability of the influenza virus continues to present a major challenge to health professionals and policy makers. Nonetheless, vaccination remains the most effective means for reducing the burden of influenza, and efforts to increase vaccine coverage and the introduction of new vaccine strategies (such as vaccinating healthy children) should be considered to reduce the influenza attributable excess mortality experienced in Italy and in Europe in the last seasons.
