US Flu Cases Reach 29 Million: Have We Hit Peak Season?

FEB 27, 2020 | MICHAELA FLEMING
 
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there have been 29 million influenza cases in the United States in the 2019-20 season.

Influenza activity remains high, as it has been in recent weeks, but the latest flu data indicates that activity decreased slightly this week.

Overall, visits to clinicians for influenza-like-illness decreased from 6.7% last week to 6.1% this week. However, all US regions remain above baseline in reporting outpatient influenza-like-illness occurrence.

According to the latest FluView data, there have been 280,000 hospitalizations for influenza recorded as of February 15, 2020. This figure is consistent with hospitalization rates at this point in time during recent seasons; however, hospitalization rates among children and young adults are considered higher than in recent seasons.

The CDC also indicates that mortality related to pneumonia and influenza has been low during this respiratory virus season. So far, there have been 16,000 flu-related deaths documented during the US influenza season. Of these, there have been 105 influenza-associated deaths among children.

Earlier this season, Contagion® reported that influenza B/Victoria was the predominant strain in the US this season. At this point in time, there has been a decrease in the percentage of specimens testing positive for influenza B, although the percentage of specimens testing positive for influenza B is on the rise.

Really?

 

Just watch the video. 

 

He didn't ask Birx to look into injecting people with disinfectant?

 

You're saying that didn't happen?

 

Was it a doctored video?

 

Maybe you're unaware that disinfectant is poison?

 

It takes a special kind of stupid to interpret his "suggestions" to his Covid panel as endorsing that people drink bleach or Lysol.   If you take umbrage at his words, then you should also acknowledge that all "treatments" he discussed are being contemplated as a potential cures of the virus.

I suck for telling people to heed CDC's advice not to drink methanol to get drunk?

So we're 6 months in and 1.5% of our population has had it? I remember when people here were suggesting that many people may die from it by now.

Confirmed cases.  It's pry between 5 to 15% nationwide who've contracted the virus based off the various antibody studies.  

 

The Trump administration task force projected with mitigation efforts anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000 covid deaths based on the model in late March.  We're at a little over 165,000 right now.

This tweet and its responses are proof that we are the dumbest human beings to ever walk the face of the Earth.  

 

There is so much evil and stupid all in here.  Starting with this piece of trash's tweet.

The flu comes every year. Covid is killing people in a new way.

 

After 3 months of peak flu season, we had 16000 deaths. We've had 16000 deaths in ~the last two weeks from Covid. 

 

Flu IFR based on those numbers is 0.05%. Covid is 10x that. 

 

Flu hospitalizations were 280,000 as of Feb. There have been single days with over 60K people in the hospital from Covid.

 

So, we have a brand new disease, with a much higher death toll, much more fatal, and it sends people to the hospital at a far higher rate. That's why the flu isn't getting reported on.

Please post a list of doctors considering injecting disinfectants as a potential cure of the virus.

New York’s largest hospital network had to buy garden hoses to fix ventilators: book

 

This experience and many others resulted in Northwell Health seeking to buy its own medical supply company so it never again has to rely on China or other governments for vital goods like vents, scrubs and masks.

 

Northwell’s network of 23 hospitals treated some 70,000 coronavirus patients — more than anywhere in the country.

 

But staffers were plagued by a dire lack of medical equipment, so much so that “Even when we did receive much-needed ventilators from New York State, many arrived without parts needed to make them functional,” execs wrote.

 

The over-reliance on foreign companies extended to pharmaceutical drugs, Northwell officials said, suggesting this was a serious national security issue.

 

The virus also took a financial toll, costing Northwell $1.2 billion in lost revenue and added costs. But the provider said it paid bonuses to front-line workers for their heroic work and said it would worry about the financial reckoning later.

So Trumps estimates were more accurate than the WHO?
