As I posted two weeks ago, a season’s influenza over the course of hours would swamp any hospital. “How many blue people an hour can YOUR hospital manage?” I posted that what seems like a lifetime ago.
I do not understand your response.
4,000 influenza hospitalized was the highest WEEKLY surveillance report from New York City in January 2020.
Are you not aware that the CDC’s smallest estimate for influenza infections in the last 5.5 months is 38 million?
