Flu season takes another turn for the worse
Greetings,
Flu season takes another turn for the worse
This year’s already worrisome flu season has taken a turn for the worse in recent days. The latest update issued Monday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows influenza is now widespread in 43 states — up from 36 states the previous week. Six children died of the flu last week, raising the total number of childhood fatalities from this year’s flu season to 21.
The CDC reported last week that this year’s flu outbreak officially reached epidemic level, but it dipped back below that threshold in the latest update. Flu-related hospitalizations are more than double what they were this time last year, with people age 65 and over at greatest risk of serious complications from the flu, followed by children 4 years old or younger.
The CDC says high levels of illness were being reported in 29 states as of Dec. 27, a jump from 22 states a week earlier.
Flu season could peak this month, although a number of states, including New York and California, have yet to see high levels of illness and could be in for some rough weeks ahead, said Dr. Michael Jhung of the CDC.
The strain of the virus that’s dominant this year, Influenza A H3N2, is “nasty,” said CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook. “It tends to cause more severe illness, both for the elderly and the very young.”…..More Here
