petmoosieNow, don't panic yet about the increased number of deaths. That doesn't always mean that the flu is more deadly. It can mean that hospitalized people finally died.
Confirmed cases (in the US) 17,855 and 45 deaths. That is a bigger % increase in deaths than in cases. Locations include New York, Massachusetts, Wisconsin (largest number of confirmed cases), Illinois, Washington (state), California and Texas. Substantial increases in deaths in New York.
Attempts to determine prevalence of non-tested cases in New York City resulted in an estimate of 6.9% of the population having a flu-like illness between May 1 and May 20.
