The 2019-2020 flu season was especially tough.By the end of the season, an estimated total of 49 million people in the United States had contracted the flu, of whom an estimated 79,000 died from the flu.  Assume that the US population was 300,000,000 during the 2019-2020 flu season and that during the season, a total of 2.9 million Americans died from all causes (including the flu).  Assume the population of the US remained the same at the midpoint of the season. Report mortality rates per 100,000. Be sure to express the measure in the correct format. c.What was the flu-related mortality rate during the 2019-2020 flu season? d.What is the all-cause mortality rate during the 2019-2020 flu season? e.In a country with an age distribution that is much younger than in the US, the proportionate mortality rate from flu in 2019 was 5%.  Based on this information alone, can we determine that the risk of dying from flu in 2019 was higher in this country compared to the US? Why or why not?
