CDC Says Flu Season Appears To Have Peaked, But Activity Levels Still High
24 February 2018, 7:30 am EST By Carl Velasco Tech Times
New data by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that the deadly flu season in the United States has reached its peak, but it doesn't mean everything is going to be okay.
The transmission is still intense, and cases from a strain typically surging late during the season are rising.
"The amount of activity is still very high," said Daniel Jernigan, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's flu division director, as The Wall Street Journal reports. "There are still many weeks left of this flu season — probably through mid-April."
