6 MILLION Americans have been infected by flu and 3,000 have died since OCTOBER as country is stung by worst outbreak in a decade

More than six million Americans have been infected with flu and nearly 3,000 have died from the disease so far since October — in the worst outbreak in a decade.

Latest figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also show there have been 53,000 hospitalizations in that time. 

A total of 18 states reported 'very high' flu levels in the week ending November 19, four more than in the previous seven-day spell. New Mexico, Texas and Tennessee are the worst affected. 

America's flu season began early this year, with seasonal viruses returning with a vengeance after lockdowns, face masks and other measures prevented exposure to healthy germs.

The wave of sickness has also sparked shortages of key drugs, including the children's frontline medication amoxicillin — used to treat fevers in children.

The CDC publishes weekly flu estimates on the number of cases, hospitalizations and deaths sparked by the disease throughout the season.

The latest infection numbers are 36 per cent above the 4.4million cases estimated over the previous week, and more than double the 2.8million from a fortnight ago.

Deaths have also surged from 1,300 recorded a fortnight beforehand.

The hospitalization rate was 11.3 admissions per 100,000 people in the week to November 19, higher than at any other point at this time of year since 2010-2011. 

Flu cases are now 66 per cent of the total number of infections recorded throughout the whole of last year, when there were 9million cases. The flu season typically runs from October to May.

Covid has accounted for 2.2million confirmed cases since October, but the actual number is likely far higher — with many cases missed due to lack of testing. The pandemic virus was also behind 14,000 deaths.

It sounds like the Masks must have worked.

But I wonder about the supply shortages?

I have not heard anything about the baby formula shortage in a long time, oh except some state today put out a memo saying if you have flu or covid you can chest feed your baby

it only took a year to make this a thing, wow

This is a result of damaged immune systems.

Death shots have weakened the immune systems in everyone who’s taken it.

More and more docs are seing evidence of it. They cn’t help but see it, as they know whats going on in their patients. Not anecdotal.

Covid measures over the past years reduce natural immunity to colds and flu.

Younger people with shorter lifetime to be exposed to the gamut of respiratory viruses will be effected most.

Constant exposure to respiratory viruses is a good thing. Many viruses share the same epitopes and exposure to benign strains can protect against exposure to more virulent strains encountered later.

100 * 3000 / 6000000 = 0.05%, and of those most were old with comorbidities.

100.00% - 0.05% = 99.95% survivability.

An ordinary flu.

Remember the mNRA animal studies?? Once the jabbed animals were challenged, with a virus.....their weakened immune systems couldn’t protect them....and, they died.

All 260 million jabbed Americans have bad immune systems?
May be all will get flu and many will die. Then we will need more illegals to fill the apartments.

I agree. The impact on our natural immune system was a major reason I never got the shot. Never got the flu shot either.

Isn't it odd that those of us who do not trust the government, line up to subject ourselves to getting an injection, mandated by that very same government?

"...as country is stung by worst outbreak in a decade."

Horseshit. Back in January 2016, I ended up in the emergency room, and was admitted because my electrolytes were all screwed up. They didn't have any beds available because of flu cases, and they had to open up a closed wing in the basement. My nurse turned out to be the head of one of their departments. They had pulled her off her job to help take care of the overflow patients that they were having to put in the old wing. They kept me for 3 1/2 days, and sometime before that, they were finally able to move me out of the basement wing, and up into a regular room. They said the cases of flu were very high that year. My nurse was a very sweet person, who even after they moved me out of the area she was temporarily working in, came up to see me, to find out how I was doing.
