This flu season is looking really scary, in one chart
This season’s flu numbers are 12 times higher than before the pandemic.
Hasnain says:
"Additionally, more than five times as many people have been hospitalized for the flu so far this season than at the same point in any of the last 10 years. And unlike RSV, which poses the biggest threat to the youngest and oldest, the severe disease flu causes is more evenly spread across age groups. About one-third of the people who’ve been hospitalized for flu this year were 65 or older, while another quarter were ages 18 to 49."
