Well this is odd. Anyone care to explain how pneumonia deaths have dropped off the face of the earth this season?

Interesting...where did you get this?
I see the legend says CDC...did they really misspell Pneumonia?
Whoever put the graph together misspelled it, not the CDC.
The data is here:
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/weeklyar ... Data12.csv
The other link is here:
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/
The main takeaway from that page is probably this:
"All data are preliminary and may change as more reports are received."
All the data from this year probably just hasn't been sent in yet from cities, towns and counties as things are a little hectic (especially since the end of 2019 is pretty close to the previous years). Or there's a conspiracy afoot.
I was going to post that to MD, but since you did.
Also this (my misspell on file name; tough word to spell for petes, for pete's sake):

Not just your misspelling PB, it was misspelled right on the graph itself, the largest words on the graph.
Yup, sounds like someone with an agenda is circulating in social media their own 'work' not that actually of the CDC.
Thanks guys, for the explanation...looked fishy to me.
The data is in the links...whoever rolled the graph misspelled, not the CDC website
My advice: do your own graph (takes 2 minutes from the Excel spreadsheet) if these two do not satisfy the anti-Trump agenda; who knows, you might be correct!
I thought it was interesting and I understood why it would be so.
But whoever created it (not the CDC) was clearly sloppy enough to misspell the key word.
Seemed immediately obvious to me that this was not CDC provided analysis.
The additional clarifications by others looking more deeply explain the problem of making stuff up prematurely when data is incomplete.
So, have you answered my question, PB?
Where did YOU get that graph?
From your social media...if so, what was the attribution?
Fox News, another media outlet, or some unknown Twitter troll?
