The US is experiencing a surge in influenza cases, with 40 states reporting high or very high levels last week, according to US health officials. The CDC reports that influenza cases are surpassing those of COVID-19 and RSV, though the latter remains a concern for infants and the elderly.
Las fiestas decembrinas llegaron acompañadas de la influenza para muchos estadounidenses, y 40 estados reportaron niveles altos o muy altos de casos la semana pasada, según los últimos datos de salud gubernamentales. “Hay mucha influenza”, dijo Carrie Reed de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades . Por supuesto, hay varios virus que causan fiebre, tos, dolor de garganta y otros síntomas similares a los de la influenza. Uno es el COVID-19 .
Los estados que reportaron menores cantidades de casos estaban principalmente en las Grandes Llanuras del norte y en Nueva Inglaterra. Hasta ahora esta temporada, los CDC estiman que ha habido al menos 5,3 millones de casos de influenza, 63.000 hospitalizaciones y 2.700 muertes, incluyendo de al menos 11 niños. De momento no está claro si esta temporada de virus respiratorios de invierno será peor que las anteriores.
