Why people die from the flu
Flu is a killer. In past epidemics in the United States, as many as 5% of those with the disease have died. Public Health officials estimate that about 36,000 people die each year in the U.S. from the flu and related illnesses.
In temperate climates like the United States, influenza is seasonal. Beginning in November and running until March of the following year, influenza cases multiply. In more tropical climes, influenza is seen year round.
