Doctors note that the epidemic of colds started unusually early. Since September 1, 1,695 positive flu tests have already been made. That year, at the same time, there were four times fewer patients.
The increase in patients per week was 2%. In addition, the number of patients with COVID-19 is growing. The risk of infection with two strains at the same time remains. In this case, it will be more difficult for a weakened body to fight the virus.
Doctors expect a sharp increase in the incidence of influenza and SARS in the United States of America until mid-February. The country continues to vaccinate against influenza free of charge - they are ready to vaccinate up to 18 million people within a month.
Most of the flu patients were recorded in the states of Georgia, South Carolina, New York, Texas, Tennessee, Washington.
