Summary
This year’s flu season is hitting hard—late and unexpectedly—with hospitals already stretched thin. While the virus isn’t necessarily deadlier, a massive wave of cases is overwhelming systems, fueled by waning vaccine protection, colder weather driving indoor crowding, and low vaccination rates. Though tracking methods and population demographics make direct comparisons tricky, early signs suggest the peak may be passing, offering a glimmer of relief after a rough ride.
