The coming flu season may be a doozy. Here's why

The coming flu season may be a doozy. It's in part because of a very human reaction to restrictions, social distancing, struct hand hygiene and mask use. It may also be because our immune systems haven't been exposed to many germs for months.
Even as coronavirus was devastating populations around the world, killing 3.7 million people globally, doctors and public health officials noticed something else was missing: There was almost no flu. One child died from flu this year in the US. In 2019-2020, there were 199 flu-related deaths in children and 144 the season before that. Flu cases, usually counted in the tens of millions, only accounted for a few thousand this year in the US.More Related News
