...which is the problem. We shouldn't be afraid of this at the population level. Just like AIDS: at risk populations should take it seriously while the rest of us get on with life.infinity ag said:Keegan99 said:

It is not meaningless as a life lost is a life lost. Regardless of if was 1 life in 10 or 1 life in 100.
That said, both parameters are important. Normalizing gives you the magnitude in relation to the population and pleases statisticians, but raw count is more personal and is of concern to everyday people.

Influenza activity is currently low in the United States and globally.
...the percentage of U.S. respiratory specimens submitted for influenza testing that tested positive decreased from >20% to 2.3% and has remained at historically low interseasonal levels (0.2% versus 12%). Data from Southern Hemisphere countries also indicate little influenza activity.
