Emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalization rates also rose, and outpatient visits for flulike illness are at 3.4% and are now above the national baseline.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Six jurisdictions reported high activity, a measure of outpatient visits for flu: California, Oregon, Arizona, Louisiana, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n<p>At public health labs, more than 97% of flu virus detections were influenza A, and, of subtyped samples, about 60% were H3N2 and nearly 40% were 2009 H1N1.<\/p>\n<p>The highest hospitalization rate was in seniors. No new pediatric flu deaths were reported, keeping the season&#8217;s total at two.<\/p>\n<h3>COVID activity up from low levels<\/h3>\n<p>In its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/respiratory-viruses\/data\/index.html\">respiratory virus snapshot<\/a>, the CDC said the overall respiratory virus illness level remains moderate for the second week in a row. The agency noted that COVID activity\u2014as reflected by wastewater detections, ED visits, and test positivity\u2014is starting to rise in some parts of the country from low levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We predict COVID-19 illness to increase in the coming weeks, as it usually does in the winter,&#8221; the CDC said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nwss\/rv\/COVID19-nationaltrend.html\">Wastewater detections<\/a> are still in the low range and are highest in the Midwest, followed by the West and the South.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>We predict COVID-19 illness to increase in the coming weeks, as it usually does in the winter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) activity continues to increase in most US regions, especially in young children, the CDC said. RSV-related ED visits and hospitalizations are rising in children, with hospitalizations on the rise in older adults in some areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cidrap.umn.edu\/covid-19\/indicators-show-us-flu-and-covid-activity-rising\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flu activity continues to rise, and COVID-19 indicators are also starting to rise from very low levels, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said today in its &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=136976\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-136976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=136976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136976\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=136976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=136976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=136976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
