Nope, the label on the graph plainly says "US All Deaths - Weekly"
I have been looking at the FluView web site for some time. I have pulled down all of the data into my own spreadsheets and looked at it several different ways. You clearly have no clue as to even the order of magnitude of weekly flu deaths.
Had I done this chart I would have placed those source URLs at the bottom to prevent this confusion, but the author likely expected more of his readers. The weekly flu deaths in the US average close to 500 not 40,000. You are almost 2 orders of magnitude off. Perhaps you should have actually gone to the source pages provided and looked for yourself.
You are correct here. Anyone who actually opens the links provided can see this. Specifically, the last link to the raw data, there's an 'All Deaths' column and then columns for Pneumonia and Flu. The chart posted by OP clearly graphs total deaths.
nope, this is total mortality. But CDC does provide Flu and Pneumonia breakouts
Nope. Look at the text on the fucking graph dawg. Its right there at the top.

Those are simply the URL titles of sources. Now go to those and break out the data. Most weekly flu deaths closer to 500.
500 x 52 = 26,000 plus a few "hotter" months during flu season
Ok chief. Now look above that.
Multiple people have pointed this out to you already. The source URLs even say flu specifically.
You really need to fully read and evaluate what youre looking at. People like you are responsible for spreading misinformation.
