If by flu you are referring to seasonal influenza, that number runs around 30,000, and for me yes, I shed tears over them - they are my fellow Americans, humans, and people with families.
I shed tears over them because so many of them are preventable if Flu vaccinations were mandatory (which would pay for itself in reduced loss of productivity and reduced cost of healthcare).
Even the influenza vaccination is not perfect. And some will die, but I shed tears over any unnecessary death that could have been prevented.
