That&#8217;s as high as the peak of the 2017-18 flu season and higher than any season since.<\/p>\n<p>The annual winter flu season usually doesn&#8217;t get going until December or January, but this one began early and has been complicated by the simultaneous spread of other viruses.<\/p>\n<p>The measure of traffic in doctor&#8217;s offices is based on reports of symptoms like coughs and sore throats, not on lab-confirmed diagnoses. So it may include other respiratory illnesses.<\/p>\n<p>That makes it hard to compare to flu seasons from before the COVID-19 pandemic. Other years also didn&#8217;t have this year&#8217;s unusually strong wave of RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, a common cause of cold-like symptoms that can be serious for infants and the elderly.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, 44 states reported high or very high flu activity last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday.<\/p>\n<p>That may not bode well for the near future. It&#8217;s likely there was more spread of respiratory viruses during Thanksgiving gatherings and at crowded airports, experts say.<\/p>\n<p>The dominant flu strain so far is the kind typically associated with higher rates of hospitalizations and deaths, particularly in people 65 and older.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC estimates there have been at least 78,000 hospitalizations and 4,500 deaths from flu so far this season. The deaths include at least 14 children.<\/p>\n<p>Flu shots are recommended for nearly all Americans who are at least 6 months old or older.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2022 The Associated Press.
