The death toll is expected to rise, along with hospitalization rates as the reports continue to come in and as the season continues to ramp up. It could be months before it is over.

Quoted:
"There were 40,414 deaths in the U.S. during the third week of 2018, the most recent data available, and 4,064 were from pneumonia or influenza, according to the CDC data. The number for that week is expected to rise more reports are sent to the agency."

Take this one seriously, friends.
