True. But those areas having "poor" schools isn't really a function of poor schools.Depends entirely on where you live. I live in Memphis, so my girls go to private school.
Public Schools in Memphis are an absolute sh!t show. Been run by the same group of corrupt idiots for more than 40 years. Absolutely hopeless.
Other districts have wonderful public schooling. So, it all depends.
Can you link to this?
Here is some info on how the flu deaths are estimated by CDC.
How CDC Estimates the Burden of Seasonal Influenza in the U.S. | CDC
From the link:
Why doesn’t CDC base its seasonal flu mortality estimates only on death certificates that specifically list influenza?
Seasonal influenza may lead to death from other causes, such as pneumonia, congestive heart failure, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It has been recognized for many years that influenza is underreported on death certificates. There may be several reasons for underreporting, including that patients aren’t always tested for seasonal influenza virus infection, particularly older adults who are at greatest risk of seasonal influenza complications and death. Even if a patient is tested for influenza, influenza virus infection may not be identified because the influenza virus is only detectable for a limited number of days after infection and many people don’t seek medical care in this interval. Additionally, some deaths – particularly among those 65 years and older – are associated with secondary complications of influenza (including bacterial pneumonias). For these and other reasons, modeling strategies are commonly used to estimate flu-associated deaths. Only counting deaths where influenza was recorded on a death certificate would be a gross underestimation of influenza’s true impact.
The figure of 36,000 average annual American deaths from the seasonal flu can not be reached without including pneumonia. The End.Here is some info on how the flu deaths are estimated by CDC.

This is not congruent with @BowlBrother85 claim.

One could give him the benefit of the doubt on that if so inclined. But the press hates him so much they're just waiting to pounce at every opportunity - enough of them anyways - that I think we've seen the last "briefing" where he goes so far off script. Of course I could be wrong; we are talking about Trump after all. But I think he knows that he made a tactical mistake yesterday by "thinking out loud" in front of those jackals. It's a different type of scene than his rallies.For the last time. He wasn't talking about using a disinfectant like Lysol and injecting it. He was probably thinking off the top of his head and wondering at that moment if a similar method of "disinfecting" the body could be done with some type of medication or other medical method. It didn't come out that way, but if anybody is halfway honest, they know he wasn't saying inject cleaners or commercial disinfectants in the body.
I love seeing him piss off the press and I hope it continuesOne could give him the benefit of the doubt on that if so inclined.

The stat of 36,000 isn't undercounting a damn thing... and it bundles pneumonia in with the flu. I said this before, it depends on which stat you are working from. 36,000 average deaths from the seasonal flu is horse $hit.Not the end. That link literally says flu is undercounted.
Versus covid which is counted if a balling bowl drops on your head.
The end for your incorrect statement.
It has been Trump's best tv show yet. It's hard to be good on a daily show, 7 days a week, but he is knocking them dead. Of course, some days he knocks them dead with drinking aquarium cleaner, and some days with mainlining Lysol, but..................................It is great entertainment. The main reason I've been tuning in.
