I am just reporting the real figures. It is up to you to decide, on the basis of those figures, whether or not you are receiving the correct information and what precautions you feel are appropriate.

I will just make one comment. It has been said that the annual flu epidemic causes more deaths but this is in addition to the normal situation and is clearly more dangerous, in terms of percentage of hospitalisations and deaths than most Flu epidemics. In areas severely hit they have had to close the cemeteries, they have run out of space for the additional burials.
