Considering their health services are not the worst in the world, one or both of these stats don’t make any sense. Same goes for Canada. Having population of only 0.5% of the global population, we can’t have 1%+ of all flu related deaths happening here in the country. Numbers are surely wrong.

Complications from the flu can include serious conditions, like pneumonia or heart attacks and, in some cases, death. Flu causes about*12,200*hospitalizations and 3,500 deaths in Canada each year.
