Flu Surge: Subclade K Virus Spreads in US
Flu cases surge in the US, driven by new subclade K variant; CDC reports high illness levels in over half the states, with seven point five million cases, eighty-one thousand hospitalizations, and three thousand one hundred deaths. The variant, which first emerged in the UK, Japan, and Canada, is hitting older adults, pregnant women, young kids, and those with chronic conditions the hardest. Despite the surge, its not too late to get a flu shot or take prescription antivirals. Health officials urge everyone eligible to vaccinate and stay cautious as the season progresses.
