The United States is experiencing the highest levels of hospitalizations from influenza that it has seen in a decade for this time of year, the head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Monday, adding that 14 children have died so far this flu season.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky added that U.S. hospital systems also continue to be stressed with a high number of patients with other respiratory illnesses such as respiratory syncytial virus and COVID-19.

"Especially for RSV and flu, these levels are higher than we generally see this time of year," Walensky told reporters in a telephone news briefing. She said flu season started earlier and "hospitalizations for flu continue to be the highest we have seen at this time of year in a decade." Vaccination rates for people at higher risk from the flu - those 65 and older, children and pregnant women - are also lower than at this time last year, Walensky added.

Between Oct. 1 and Nov. 26, the rate of hospitalization for flu in the United States was 16.6 per 100,000 people. In the past 10 years, the cumulative rate during the same week of the year typically range from 0.1 to 2 per 100,000.

Experts don't have a clue, they are pushing propaganda!!!

Hey! I’ve seen this somewhere before

No.

yea you should get 12 of them.

It's just their compromised immune systems from the COVID-19 vaccines and boosters. I really thought we had eradicated influenza during the 'pandemic'? Weird how it just went away for a couple of years like that.

Nope. Definitely no flu shot. Who knows what they’ve slipped in there?

Reuters you should hand your heads in shame. Fear mongering is divisive and transparent.

I wonder if the covid vaccines has anything to do with this rise and the flu epidemics

The flu vaccine I suspect is much the same, in that the human immune system will eventually become “dependent” on it over time, losing the ability to fight off viruses 🦠 naturally. People are getting to the point of total dependency of these so called vaccines.

USA be like...Welcome back Flu, where you been bro

Nasty propaganda 🤨

Eff around and Find out antivaxers!

Normal

Hmm...I wonder why? 🤔

Well, if people would take off the mask & breathe in OXYGEN instead of EXHAUST it might be better...

Because the vaccine ruined the immune systems of those who received it. So, not surprised.

What's the benchmark...60-80K deaths annually?

🤔 wonder what percentage of that is due to immune system fatigue, negative immunity, and overall poor health since whatsit.

Fear porn never ends with Reuters.

The flu kills thousands yearly. It did for years before Covid. Now you discover it ? If it bleeds it leads?

What happened in 2020 to the flu ?

Quick to the mandatemobile 🏎

Flu shot October 11. Flu December 3.

The word is in the initial stage of the SYNDEMIC 2022, caused by *SEVERAL viral clusters* that will eventually spurt out a *HYBRID* that will fuel another consequent pandemic in 2023 ( Covid-23?) after Covid-19 resumes. The *LAX approach* to Covid-19 is it's origin. Sorry.

And yet, no flu shot mandate? Weird

After a two year hiatus, flu is returning to drive fear into the hearts of liberals.
