Flu season is in full swing in the US with a wave of infections causing cough, cold, fever and sore throat sweeping across the country. Covid-19 and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) have been driving the infections for the past many weeks now, and now influenza has also joined in, which can increase the hospitalization cases further.
As many as 40 states reported high or very high levels of illness last week, as per the latest government data. “A lot of flu out there,” said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Carrie Reed.
