Well, I’m gonna have to call it quits for the night. Maybe we’ll find out tomorrow.
RAN ACROSS AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE REGULAR FLU—the B strain that is here is not the one in the vaccine, but they claim it is close enough that it should help:
In general, influenza B is more common in children, while influenza A, also called H1N1, is more commonly seen in older adults, according to Dr. Jessica Grayson, an assistant professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
So far, 10,000 people have died and 180,000 people have been hospitalized during the 2019-2020 flu season, according to preliminary estimates from the CDC.
“The flu season began early this year and took off aggressively,” added Schaffner. “It began prominently in the southeastern states but quickly spread. So far, there is no sign that the momentum of the annual epidemic is slowing.”
The majority of states, as well as New York City, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico are now seeing high flu activity.
In total, the CDC estimates that 19 million people have gotten the flu so far this season.
