As many of us gather with family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors, it’s important to be aware of how much flu is currently circulating and to remain vigilant for ourselves and others.
This flu season’s ferocious start has given way to record-shattering levels of transmission — and massive strains on the American health system.
In the week ending November 26, more than 34,000 positive flu tests were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from labs around the US, as shown in the orange line on the chart below. That’s more positive flu tests than have been reported in any single week during any flu season on record, going back as far as 1997.
