6 flu deaths reported in Kentucky. FRANKFORT, KY. (WKYT) - The Kentucky Department of Public Health has reported six flu related deaths this flu season. Five adults and one child have died. Dr. Kraig Humbaugh with the department of public health says the very young and the very old are the most vulnerable to the flu. He says in a given year, 3,000 people could die from flu complications in Kentucky. Dr. Humbaugh says this year is different than most, because the flu in Kentucky is considered widespread, and it's been widespread for four weeks.
The CDC estimates that between 1976 and 2005 the annual number of flu-related deaths in the U.S. ranged from a low of 3,000 to a high of 49,000. Between 2010 and 2016 yearly flu-related deaths in the U.S. ranged from 12,000 to 56,000. But what exactly is a âflu-related deathâ? How does the flu kill? The short and morbid answer is that in most cases the body kills itself by trying to heal itself. âDying from the flu is not like dying from a bullet or a black widow spider bite,â says Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease physician at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security.
