Is it normal for 600 plus NHS staff and carers to die from the common flu every year?

It is pretty normal for more than 600 NHS staff to die each year......................... bearing in mind that NHS and healthcare employs 1.9 million people.
However where as the media have focused on BAME people in the UK and indicate there is a higher death rate............... which is true. It also overlooks the higher propernity for 1st Gen immigrants to suffer from diabetes. Certain 1st Gen Immigrants have a prevalence 5 times more that UK born population to suffer from diabetes. This is not "NEW" News as has been known about for decades and issue is in the main dietary led where the greater propensity for sugars and other foods not experienced in home country has impacted.

If Covid-19 was specific to certain communities then it would be prevalent worldwide, it is not hence local factors play a significant part.
