Okay it's 41 now, was using a couple days ago report. But that's still statistically insignificant.

Look at the graph to the right labeled "Closed Cases". There is a 7% mortality rate on the closed cases to date. The flu is less than a 1% death rate.

ETA There is a reason leagues are cancelling/postponing their seasons. There is a reason Disney/Universal is shutting down. There is a reason Broadway has gone dark. You don't see any of those things happening during flu season.
