Why this flu season is spiraling faster than anyone expected

Cases of the flu are rising sharply across the country – and that’s when looking at data collected right before the holiday.

In the U.S., the CDC estimates 7.5 million flu cases so far this season, with 81,000 hospitalizations and more than 3,000 deaths. So far this season eight children have died from flu-related causes according to the CDC, with five of those deaths reported this week.
