 Flu season intensifies with 6M infected in US: CDC
by Brad Dress - 11/29/22 11:07 AM ET

Flu season is intensifying in the U.S. with more than 6 million cases confirmed so far, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported on Monday.

The federal health agency said in a weekly update it has already recorded more than 53,000 hospitalizations and 29,000 deaths from the flu this season, as of the week ending Nov. 19.

Twelve children have died from the flu so far, the CDC said, and the cumulative hospitalization rate is the highest it’s been at this point in the flu season since the 2010-2011 one.

The CDC recommends that everyone aged 6 months and older get vaccinated against the flu annually.

Flu season typically starts in October and ends around May, with a peak in December or January. It began six weeks early this year, causing a spike in hospitalization rates.

The season is ramping up even as the U.S. continues to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and a new surge of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a critical illness for youth that has put a strain on children’s hospitals.

Of course.  "Health" is now the go-to fig-leaf to justify fascism in the U.S.

How many weeks to "flatten the curve" this time?  Mask mandates?
A "Tripledemic" of the vaccinated.

Birds.

Did anybody honestly think "highly pathogenic avian influenza" spreading like wildfire through livestock this past summer wasn't going to jump to humans?

Interesting. Finally at the hospitals and doctors offices it is now posted pursuant to FL Code --- masks are now optional.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
