'We're paying the price now.' Cardiff University's professor Ronald Eccles argues that Covid lockdowns are to blame for rising flu rates, and urges young people to 'take the flu jab'. NickFerrariLBC
NHS data has shown that flu rates have shot up this year in comparison with previous years. Flu rates are now eight per cent higher than expected for this time of year, and hospital admissions for influenza are up by 40% this week alone.
According to Mr Eccles, as a population, our immunity has “declined” over the last two years due to being cooped up indoors during national lockdowns, and we’re now “paying the price” in rising flu rates. Mr Eccles responded: “We’ve got a real problem at the moment with respiratory illnesses like influenza, common cold, and RSV due to several factors.”
