New York State Flu Outbreak: A Grim Record and Rising ConcernsNew York state has just broken its record for the most flu cases in a single week, with seventy-one thousand one hundred twenty-three new lab-confirmed cases ending December twentieth—a thirty-eight percent increase from the previous week. Hospitalizations have also surged to three thousand six hundred sixty-six, surpassing last winters peak. Health Commissioner Doctor James McDonald attributes this to early arrival of the flu and holiday gatherings, warning that the situation is expected to worsen before it improves. Vaccination rates are normal, so officials urge those who havent received the flu vaccine to do so, especially this year with a tougher strain. Those feeling sick, particularly kids, older adults, or those with health issues, should seek antivirals within forty-eight hours and stay home from work or family visits. Checkout Solipillow.com
