P&I deaths are still well above epidemic levels for Week 43 and are approaching epidemic levels for peak flu season.

Anyone know off-hand what the total population or percentage of the US population is covered by the 122 cities reporting in the MMWR?

I think that gsgs estimated 25-30% of the total. Mostly on the lower end when the large cities (like chicago) don't report.

Re: P&I Deaths Elevated

total deaths in USA = 2.4M per year = 46000 per week
with the 22 cities we usually have ~10000 per week

during the first 15 weeks of the year we usually have
~12000 deaths per week from all causes in these 122 cities


during peak weeks of seasonal flu:
12200(all),8100(>65),900(P+I)
now: 11000,7200,800


we currently get ~500-1000 ecxess deaths weekly from flu in USA


~5000-10000 deaths in total from ****** this season
