And just to be very clear about influenza death levels, it would be quite wrong to claim that 20,000 is the number that die every year, the average is not thought to be at that level.
But the idea it kills less than a thousand is something I find quite offensive based on all the numbers I've ever come across.
Another interesting area is how the rate has changed over time. I believe it is well possible to see a number of things in UK flu data this century, including the effects of expanding vaccination programmes.
The sort of number the following study came out with years ago involve the sort of ranges I tend to consider at least somewhat safe, a reasonable way to think about flu deaths.
