The latest data — for the week ending Jan. 6 — suggest the season may be peaking right now, the CDC’s director, Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald, told reporters Friday. But she warned that many more people will be infected before the season is over.
There’s a difference between an active flu season — when a large number of people get sick — and a severe season, when the numbers of people hospitalized for flu or who die from the infection are unusually high.
It can be hard to tell in real time where a flu season will fall on the severity scale, because sometimes reports of influenza hospitalization and deaths — especially deaths among children — lag.
That said, this year is starting to look like a severe season, and maybe more severe than last year, which was also bad, said Dr. Dan Jernigan, head of CDC’s influenza division.
“There’s lots of flu in lots of places,” he said.
So far, Jernigan said, this year’s season doesn’t appear to be quite as bad as 2014-15.
The influenza A virus H3N2 has caused the lion’s share of the illness in most parts of the country this year.
But recently there’s been an uptick in activity by another influenza A virus, H1N1, Jernigan said, warning that even if the season appears to have peaked, flu viruses will circulate for weeks to come and people should continue to take precautions against getting infected.
Jernigan said that people over the age of 65 are being hospitalized for flu this season more than any other population. Even people age 50 to 64 are being hospitalized in high numbers.

I can’t have the pretty manicures that a lot of gals
have because I wash my hands so much at work.
or use the sanitizers.

A manicure wouldn’t last a week!

The x-rays show my lungs are clear yet they rattle when I breath. But seldom us a cough productive. Irritating.
I have a good friend who is an herbalist and also an RN. She say the same thing as your list.
Listen up everyone — this stuff works. She also says bad things about vaccines.
Stay well and safe/get well soon!

My friend is a RN (28 years now) who admits that she will never give her family a flu shot - or vaccines. She is disgusted by the lies being spread by big pharma.
One nurse in the hospital administer multiple toxic vaccines to a 7 year old girl who died 3 days after receiving them. She is haunted by her death everyday. Hush hush money was paid out to the family as long as they signed a NDA. Ugh.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Yes, great stuff to add! Thank you! To happy, healthy remedies!
Prayers for you and your dear wife.
I too have congestive heart failure, diabetes, prostrate cancer and a few other issues. But, still having some fun. :>)
Good luck...get well soon.
I had the flu in December. 104 fever, extreme weakness, aching joints, vertigo, delirium for a few hours on one night, and my ears rang. When I was awake I was able to bluff my husband into thinking that it wasn’t that bad and that all I needed was rest but looking back at it I should’ve gone to the hospital.
Must watch and share....)) = Teen Colton died. My heart is broken for this family. This needs to go viral. ))=’

Mom? Dada? Did you know that hpv vaccine can kill your healthy child? My heart aches for them and so many unnamed others killed by these DEMONIC TOOLS..,,,Why is the medical profession still pushing the deadly HPV vaccine?The REAL TRAGEDY in this death is that it did not have to happen! THIS man-made garbage injected into this boy was supposed to protect him from HPV that is now in all eggs, in all humans, andn even in the clouds above us! HPV is also in every cancer cell in our bodies! Yes, we all have some form of cancer and our immune system is either keeping it at bay or it is growing only to be discovered with the very poor diagnostic medical equipment after 10 or more years of growth with billions of cells creating tumors they can eventually see, etc.
They have doubled the aluminum in this garbage poison injection and they seem to think that is a good thing. Really! HPV can be controlled with some simple things, not this heinous, dangerous, and ineffective vaccine the medical terrorists are pushing on boys as well as girls now. SHAMEFUL! DISGUSTING! BAD SCIENCE is at work here! When will it stop? It must stop!The grim truth is that all over the world, HPV vaccines are causing paralysis, brain damage, autoimmune disease, sterility, and death.
I don’t know the situation in other states and other countries, but in California, any child 12 or older can get HPV vaccines without parents giving consent or even being notified after the fact. So educate your kids! Show them the video of Colton and his mother describing his vaccine injury. Show your child websites where HPV vaccine victims and their parents tell their stories of HPV vaccine injuries and deaths. Tell your kids that adverse effects like this are COMMON, not rare...that every young person who gets these vaccines will experience autoimmunity and aluminum poisoning. ))=’
This is a nasty piece of work.
