@freemo @Gbudd @BlueWaver22 Hmm... The CDC pages seem to say the opposite?
CDC flu estimates include all flu-related deaths (including pneumonia, etc.) & is NOT limited to flu being listed on death certificate, which "would be a gross underestimation". Source: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/how-cdc-estimates.htm
CDC covid deaths ONLY include those that list covid (ICD–10 code U07.1) on the death certificate. Source: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_weeklydeaths_select_00
By CDC's own logic for flu, their covid numbers are surely a gross undercount!
