About half of the US -- 22 states, along with DC, New York City and Puerto Rico -- is reporting high or very high respiratory illness activity.
About half of the US -- 22 states, along with Washington, DC, New York City and Puerto Rico -- is reporting high or very high respiratory illness activity, as flu season sweeps through the country weeks earlier than usual.
This season, there have been about 5 flu hospitalizations for every 100,000 people, rates typically seen in December or January, CDC data shows. And in the most recent week, about 13% of lab tests -- more than 1 in 8 -- were positive for influenza, up from 9% the week before. Flu activity has been highest in the South, CDC data shows. Data from Walgreens that tracks prescriptions for antiviral treatments such as Tamiflu suggests hotspots centered in Mississippi and Alabama, spreading from the Gulf Coast area, including Houston and New Orleans, up to Nashville.
RSV is a common respiratory virus that can cause serious illness, especially in younger infants, and it's kept pediatric hospitals more full than usual in recent weeks. Nearly 25,000 people were admitted to the hospital with Covid-19 in the first week of November, according to CDC data, a pace that's forecast to hold steady for the next month, at least.
