Seasonal flu on the rise across U.S.

While many worry about coronavirus, the seasonal flu has been storming across the country. The CDC estimates 19 million flu illnesses, 180,000 hospitalizations and 10,000 related deaths so far — 68 of them children. And the flu seems to be aggressive in New York State, with more than 15,000 new cases reported by Jan. 25, more than double last year’s by the same week. Credit: Howard Schnapp
