Experts Say Flu Has All But Disappeared This Season, Record Low Cases Recorded
The Month Of February Is Normally The Peak Of Flu Season With More Cases Seen This Month Than Any Other Month In The Year. However, Experts Are Saying That The Flu Has All But Disappeared In The U.S.
According To The C.D.C The Flu Has Been The Nation's Biggest Infectious Disease Threat For Decades Accounting For For 600,000 To 800,000 Hospitalizations Each Year And Causing 60,000 Or More Deaths Every Year.
In Fact, The CDC Has Reported Their Cumulative Data Of Positive Flu Cases From Public Health Laboratories Across The Nation And Through September 27Th, Which Is The Latest Data Provided, They Have A Total Of 138 Cases Of The Flu.
A Chart Provided By The CDC Shows The Different Rates Of Flu By Year. Each Year Is Represented By A Different Color. At The Very Bottom, The Red Triangles Following Along A Red Line Represents Flu Cases In The 2020 - 2021 Flu Season. The Next Closest Year Is The Flu Season Of 2009 And 2010 Season.
The CDC Saying That This Is The Lowest Flu Season They Have On Record.
Some Experts Say The Reason For The Drastic Drop In Flu Cases, Hospitalizations And Deaths Is Because The Corona Virus Somehow Muscled Aside The Flu And Virtually Every Other Bug Or Illness That Is Usually Seen In The Fall.
Hospitals Say The Usual Steady Stream Of Flu-stricken Patients Never Materialized.
And Across The Globe Same Story. Virtually No Flu Cases At All In China, Europe, South Africa, Australia And Other Countries.
This As Compared To The 500,000 Deaths That Have Been Attributed To The Coronavirus This Season.
Some Doctors Say They Have Even Stopped Sending Specimens For Testing, Because They Don't Think Flu Exists This Season.
