As the number of COVID-19 increases, cases of influenza in Michigan remain low.news
The number of cases of COVID-19 continues to increase in Michigan, but the number of influenza remains unusually low.
Of the 8,028 office visits in Michigan during the week ending March 20, a total of 13 patients with influenza-like illness (ILI) were reported. This is a 0.2 ILI activity rate, down from 0.4 last week.
One year ago, on March 21, 3.5% of the 4,301 visits were 149.
By comparison, the number of outpatients nationwide is 0.9%, the same as last week. It is significantly lower than it was 6.4% a year ago.
The CDC reports that this year’s seasonal flu activity has been lower than normal since the beginning of the flu season in October.
ILI is defined as fever (above 100 degrees) and cough and / or sore throat with no known cause other than influenza.
One child death from influenza has been confirmed nationwide during the 2020-2021 influenza season. No child deaths have been reported by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. As of this time last year, 155 childhood deaths from influenza have been reported nationwide, and four have been confirmed by MDHHS.
The World Health Organization reports that the number of influenza cases during the 2020-2021 influenza season is the lowest ever. Decreased influenza activity may be due to reduced influenza surveillance and reporting from many countries, the use of respiratory protection, mitigation strategies, and social distance associated with COVID-19.
If you have flu symptoms and are at high risk of serious flu complications, contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible. Your provider may decide to treat you with flu antivirals.
With rare exceptions, we recommend vaccination against influenza for all people over 6 months.
Like COVID-19, the flu virus spreads when someone coughing, sneezing, or talking about the flu releases the virus into the air and others inhale the virus. When these viruses invade a person’s nose, throat, or lungs, they begin to multiply and cause illness. According to MDHHS, the virus can also spread if you touch the nose or mouth after touching the surface to which the flu virus has adhered.
Influenza vaccination has increased significantly this season. This helps explain the low number of influenza cases in Michigan and across the country. Of course, the COVID pandemic also plays a role.
According to the CDC, more than 193.2 million influenza vaccines have been distributed in the United States. This is the maximum number of influenza distributed domestically during one season of influenza. The goal in Michigan is now to vaccinate 4.3 million people with a total of 3.3 million people.
