Old stats, please

Does anybody have older data?

The CDC tells us that The 1968 pandemic was caused by an influenza A (H3N2) virus comprised of two genes from an avian influenza A virus, including a new H3 hemagglutinin, but also contained the N2 neuraminidase from the 1957 H2N2 virus. It was first noted in the United States in September 1968. The estimated number of deaths was 1 million worldwide and about 100,000 in the United States.

Of course, political pundits would like to add that this number was before vaccinations, but I'm not going to go there. By point is, that we need more data here to show the what the flu can do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.153.156.132 (talk) 07:29, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

Data for 2017-2018 and 2019-2020 differs than the data in their respective page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.114.232.66 (talk • contribs) 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Data missing

Why is data before 2010, particularly 2009-2010 missing? And why is data after 2019, particularly 2020-2021 and an estimate for the current year 2021-2022 missing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:283:4380:2BF0:94D4:D679:8A03:831C (talk) 22:58, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Table errors corrected

Pwlebrun corrected a couple table errors. See diff.

I sent a note to CDC via their online form:

Hi. See Table 1. 2010 to 2020: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html 3,000 – 95,500 should be 37,000 – 95,500. 300,000 – 66,000 should be 300,000 – 660,000. According to the source tables: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2017-2018.htm https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2018-2019.html We copied the 2010 to 2020 table to Wikipedia and noticed the errors (since corrected): https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/United_States_influenza_statistics_by_flu_season
