As per the US CDC statistics only 2% of the flu patients require admissions said Padma Shri and Dr B C Roy National Awardee Dr K K Aggarwal, President Heart Care Foundation of India, BSNL Dil Ka Darbar & MTNL Perfect Health Mela. The mortality is also lower than that of normal human flu–pneumonia.

In Delhi in the year 2008, as per economic survey, total deaths were 100974. Out of which heart diseases (including diabetes) caused 19362 deaths, TB 2516 deaths, cancer 2597 deaths, human flu– pneumonia 879 deaths, accidents 1088 deaths, anemia 662 deaths, measles 52 deaths, burns 824 deaths, meningitis 476 deaths, cholera 54 deaths and others 72474 deaths.

Flu deaths can be reduced by postponing getting flu infection by adapting to respiratory fly hygiene measure incorporating 3 feet distance measures, frequent hand hygiene, and learning cough etiquettes.

One must also remember that not all are at risk of flu deaths. The ones at risk are people with co–morbid conditions like heart patients not including high blood pressure, uncontrolled diabetes, chronic patients with liver, kidney or lung diseases, patients with cancers, the elderly patients etc.
