Once again, you need to read the graph. Look at the top. It specifically says Flu and Pneumonia.

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 (i have many times) and looked for yourself.

Now look above that.
