The Mirror suggested that flu was causing 1 in 10 deaths at the moment. But these are deaths from flu or pneumonia. Not all involve flu.
This does account for about 9% of the 14,983 deaths registered that week, which is about 1 in 11 of them. However, these are deaths with an underlying cause ofThe Mirror’s article went on to say “flu and pneumonia caused nearly 1 in 10 of all deaths at the start of the year” which, combined with the headline, could wrongly suggest that all these deaths involved flu.
We don’t know how many of the 1,383 deaths had an underlying cause of flu. But, since 2013, deaths registered with flu as the underlying cause have never been more than about 6% of all flu and pneumonia deaths in a given year, although they might make up a larger share in shorter periods.
