Wow, suddenly the flu stopped killing people. What a miracle. Crowder had a good bit on this.

I think this is what she's referring to for 2018

80,000 Americans Died From Flu Last Year - WebMD

I read 79k somewhere else, but that’s not a big difference.

Weird how if you add up those flu deaths with the CV numbers and magically land very close to the 80k number.

Wuhan Flu symptoms are too similar to regular flu. It is extremely easy to manipulate statistics. Just categorize deaths from regular flu to Wuhan Flu deaths.

2017-2018 was between 46,000 and 95,000 deaths, pegged at 61,000 deaths overall.

2018-2019 was between 26,339 and 52,664 deaths, pegged at 34,157 deaths overall.

CDC website says between 24,000 and 62,000 for the 2019-2020 preliminary estimate. Based on the 95% UI range, that would peg the deaths at 36,666.

Is Candice just pulling these numbers out of her ass?

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2017-2018/archive.htm

In report, CDC says

79,400 deaths (table 1)

Later, Table one lists 61,099 as the chosen estimate. Range 46,404 – 94,987.

They are all heavy guesses, but at least within a magnitude.

She used an estimate from December 2018, it says the updated numbers in the big yellow box saying that this link is archived for historical purposes and that the numbers are inaccurate.

She then used the literal bottom estimate for this year.

Both errors happen to support her statement. It makes her look stupid.

Or maybe she is showing how the media distort statistics, whilst still establishing the magnitude of seasonal flu.

Something for everybody in there.

"An official cause of death remains outstanding pending toxicology results, and officials said it is possible the child died not from the virus but from an underlying condition, sudden infant death syndrome or positional asphyxiation."

Not a peep from the media since on the toxicology results that I can find. Also no mention whether mom has been tested for antibodies, since the baby might have been born with the virus.

Yeah Candace mentioned something along the lines of a care taker suffocated the baby, accidentally ofcourse. Probably slept with the baby in bed or something like that. Poor thing.

I got into a spat with my fiancée about it. We have 10 month old daughter, and I don’t want my fiancée freaking out about this shit. I told her that just because it had the chinee froo, doesn’t mean it died cause of it. She got all mad and shit saying I don’t care about our daughter getting sick blah blah blah. I was like, if it had the froo froo don’t you think it would’ve had enough symptoms before it died, and it would make fucking the national news!! “7 week old has the Chinese sniffles! More at 11!” I new it was fishy from the first article. It just had one sentence at the end, baby was tested after death and showed it had the general Tso’s sicken. I was like AHA!

According from the article you linked, Candace was on the right track! It most likely did die from some sort of asphyxiation.
