*** Super Flu Spreading in US ***
The CDC reported the country's hospitalization rate went up by 14.3% because of the spreading super flu. The outbreaks have really took hold in New York, Louisiana, and Colorado.
in NYS, officials reported 71,123 new cases for the seven days ending 20 Dec. The new weekly toll marks a 38% week-over-week surge in laboratory-confirmed flu infections. Hospitalizations tied to influenza jumped sharply, with 3,666 New Yorkers requiring inpatient care compared to 2,251 the week before, continuing a trend of rising severe cases.
Meanwhile, ACA subsidies will be expiring in less than 72 hours.
