True. My time sense is flummoxed.

However...

There had been at least 23,000 U.S. deaths related to the flu as of 3-14 (the most recent count I could find from the CDC).

Flu season lasts about 13 weeks and usually ends by April, meaning the season runs from January to March.

So: 23,000 flu deaths in two and half months; 12,911 wu flu deaths in a month.
