When someone gets upset about shark attacks or lightning strikes, I just remind them of how the numbers compare to less-hyped causes of death.
For instance, CDC estimates that from the 1976-1977 season to the 2006-2007 flu season, flu-associated deaths in the US ranged from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people.
