they're only reporting deaths under 6.

a very rough takeaway from this is that they found around 1,000 cases of flu in the state of new york over the last seven days, this time last year. this was a 50% decline from the week before.

but, that number is better comparable to the number of people walking into the hospital than the number of cases, because.....you don't get tested when you get the flu, do you? they only test the worst cases...

they're getting around that walking in, daily.

i'd like to find an actual death count before i speculate.
