US flu activity still high, with 11 new deaths in kids | CIDRAP

Today the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in its weekly FluView update, confirmed 11 new pediatric deaths for the week ending on January 11, lifting the total during the 2024-25 flu season to 27.

Overall deaths are also increasing, with flu accounting for 1.5% of deaths in the second week of January. Seasonal influenza activity remains elevated across most of the country, with an 18.8% positivity rate, according to clinical lab data.

High flu activity expected for several more weeks

Outpatient visits for flu are trending down, but the CDC said this is not likely an indication that the flu season has peaked.

“Although some indicators have decreased or remained stable this week compared to last, this could be due to changes in healthcare seeking behavior or reporting during the holidays rather than an indication that influenza activity has peaked,” the CDC said. “The country is still experiencing elevated influenza activity, and that is expected to continue for several more weeks.”

The CDC estimates that there have been at least 12 million illnesses, 160,000 hospitalizations, and 6,600 deaths from flu so far this season.

अटूट धागा / Unbroken Thread  – Kaushal Kishore

 

दिया जिन हाथों ने कभी दूसरे हाथों को सहारा,

उन्हीं हाथों को लेना पड़ता है दूसरों का सहारा…

पर देने और लेने में सहारा, जो शक्ति समाती है,

वही पीढ़ियों को जोड़ती है, साथ उन्हें लाती है…

जीवन का यही चक्र, अंतहीन, चलता जाता है, 

एक सबक छुपी कर्मों का हमें मिलता जाता है…

🧵 🧵 🧵 🧵 🧵 🧵

Hands that once raised others with pride, 

Now reach out with hands opened wide…

But in both giving and receiving, we see, 

A strength that binds generations eternally…

The wheel of life spins, a thread unbroken, 

Lessons whispered, in our deeds unspoken…
