One person has died in North Carolina due to influenza complications, the state’s first reported flu-related death of the 2021-22 flu season.
The person, an adult in western North Carolina, died during the second week of December, state Department of Health and Human Services officials said Tuesday.
The person tested positive for influenza and negative for COVID-19, according to the state.
“This is a sad reminder that flu can be a serious illness and can lead to complications and even death in some cases,” State Epidemiologist Dr. Zack Moore said in a statement. “With flu cases increasing and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever for people to get a flu vaccine this year, as well as a COVID-19 vaccination or booster if they have not already done so.”
The person’s hometown, county age and gender were been released by the state.
THE PRIOR FLU SEASON IN NC
Influenza cases and deaths were historically low during the last flu season, according to the state. N.C. health officials reported just five flu-related deaths between the end of September 2020 and the beginning of March 2021. That occurred during the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, when many limited interactions with other people and often wore masks in public.
But in five prior seasons, the number of influenza deaths reported in North Carolina ranged from 186 to 391, according to state officials.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend flu vaccinations for everyone 6 months and older each year.

That’ll probably be after the midterms.
A number of things indicates to me that this is almost over.
The NYT articles that admits the vaxxes could do more harm than good. Fauci backpedaling on the vaxes. A couple governors are now saying the it’s over and people are tired of masks and lockdowns. And now this recognizing the flu deaths as flu.
Not Zeta, as the prophecy warns. As has always been the case, Charlton Heston showed us the way.
#ItHasBeenForetold
Wait, what?
I thought influenza was “extinct” now, just like the common cold.
The big ass Dobe stomped the side of my ankle on the way out the back door yesterday.
It’s bruised and scraped.
Not going to the doctor for it because I don’t want my dog being accused of ‘spreading Covid’.
Nothing tops the biker who was killed by a car driver and then listed as a “Covid death”.
His family fought like hell to have that removed from his papers.
Keep it clean and disinfected.
Can you go to a farm store and pick up some antibiotics for the poor dog? I understand the antibiotics for animals don’t require a prescription.

There are people who go to the hospital for car accident, cardiac event etc. and have to be tested for Covid per protocol. If the fake Covid test says you're positive, even if asymptomatic, you're no longer a car accident patient, a cardiac patient etc. You become a Covid patient. They can refuse to let you leave, refuse to let you talk to anyone, long term, while they shut down your organs with Remdesivir and finish you off with intubation and Midazolam.
So it's true they would blame your dog, but one has to be light on one's feet and stay out of the snare. It's medical kidnap, or medical hijack, and some people go in and never come out again.
LOL!
The big lummox is fine.
I’m the one who should probably pop a Keflex or two.
OMG, he’s like a freight train crossed with a tornado when it’s time to go out and potty/play.
He weighs more than I do, now.
Knuckleheaded mutt.
;D
Unless I’m stepping on my intestines or something, I do not go to hospitals.
So far, so good.
Not for HIM.
LOL!
One more vaccine for those vaxx addicts to get juiced up on.
These things might as well be marketed as drugs at this point.
