Not to add to the brother in law dog pilling, but the week after being around my wife's BIL, both he and his son got flu like symptoms and tested positive for covid. Luckily it seems they were exposed after we had left the Monday after xmas. They decided it would be very smart to do a bar crawl for boxing day 😂

Table 2 is an average of 2002 - 2011 so it's a snapshot of about 10 years. Per 100,000 for each region 6.2 (Americas) is not that far off from 5.8 (SE Asia). Also Americas includes South America, a particularly poor region of the world factoring into (we) numbers. Finally the entire paper is about those poorer regions not being able to accurately count deaths due to flu and is seen in the amount influenza related excess deaths. I never said that rates of flu death hasn't decreased everywhere, just that it's decreased more in places where there is better access to vaccines/care and public health measures and it's less a factor of people just getting antibodies to various strains, as those things are not consistent or necessarily long lasting.

I kept trying to place him. But he did get that creepy vibe down pat in both those rolls. How, why, what? I have all of the questions. -
Who is we in this statement. If you mean countries with healthcare and money, it would be for the reasons I stated, and most of the poorer countries that neither is true they have not seen nearly the reduction in flu deaths that countries like US and UK have seen in the past 100 years that can be explained with people getting various strains of the flu. This is the paper that I found that hopefully backs up this point better than I can articulate. From the conclusion:

Honestly It's more to do with the fact that we have upped our game with the flu vaccine, and that we don't live with our food animals as much anymore. It's not like a human flu can't mix with a high mortality bird flu in a pig and give us 1918 levels of death. Viruses don't have those types of evolutionary pressures such as people surviving or living through it. It's just that we have taken more proactive steps to ensure that it is unlikely to happen again, and if it does we will have the anti-viral meds and vaccines to combat it.

People associate the ACA with what they like and Obamacare with the Dems and what they don't like. (or are told they don't like aka socialism/government overreach) -
