Forget reporting it every year.
I am just thinking how people would react if there was a daily (or multiple times daily) update released on number of flu patients diagnosed and subsequebt fatalities.

If there actually were 20,000 flu related fatalities this season, you would see dozens of deaths reported every single day and hundreds of positive cases
