The Carlos III Health Institute in Madrid said this week the flu epidemic wave of the 2019-2020 season has officially begun, according to the disease transmissibility levels.
According to the latest weekly report of the Influenza Surveillance System in Spain, the flu season is characterized by a predominant circulation of the virus called A (H1N1) pdm09.
The year 2020 has begun in Spain with a global rate of incidence of influenza that is increasing, reaching 54.6 cases per 100,000 inhabitants according to the latest data. Of the detections notified from the beginning of the 2019-2020 season so far, 55.5% are type A -80% of virus A (H1N1) pdm09- and 44.5% are type B.
The report also notes that, of the confirmed serious hospitalized cases of influenza reported so far, 91% are influenza A viruses. 44% have registered in the group over 64 years old, while 30% appear in the group of 45 to 64 years (30%).
According to Amparo Larrauri with the Carlos III Health Institute, “It is estimated that in the last two seasons of influenza, epidemics have produced between 500,000 and 700,000 cases of mild disease treated in primary care; between 35,000 and 52,000 hospitalizations with influenza, and between 2,500 and 3,000 admissions in ICU with laboratory-confirmed influenza.
” Using population models, it has been estimated that in the last two seasons, the flu may have been responsible for up to 15,000 deaths attributable to this disease.”
- Iceland reports increase in flu cases
- Raw oysters linked to food poisoning outbreak in France
- Measles outbreak in the Gaza Strip
- Anthrax: Three in serious condition in Zimbabwe
- Hong reports additional Rat hepatitis E virus infection
- China outbreak update: 1st death reported
- Malaysia reports additional polio cases
Makes the Corona virus look like a summer cold.
Puts a little perspective on the current Hysteria ramped up by the psychotics in the media.
Really imbecile? So in 2 weeks 1/3 of the total flu deaths in an entire season occurred and the trend line is increasing alarmingly fast and you make this stupid comment?
“Imbecile”?! Just because you can’t come up with a coherent argument?
The 2017-2918 flu season killed about 1.2 million people around the world. Covid-19 is at about 1/15th of that number presently and it already appears to be cresting.
In the US, they just lowered the worst case scenario death toll from Covid-19 to 60 thousand, which is less than the close to 80 thousand Americans who died from the flu in 2017-2018..
The Influenza virus kills between 300.000 and 600.000 people in the entire world, per year. You number 1.2 million is incorrect. In this moment, even with all the defensive care countries are taking, there are circa 100.000 deaths by Covid19.
That comment didn’t age well.. 130 thousand dead in the US in less than 4 months. That will blow away 80 thousand in a year, at the current rate of infection.
Ummm the corona started in November …. and has been spreading around the world since then.
John. 1957/58: Asian flu 2 million dead
1968/69: Hong Kong flu 1 million dead
2020 CV 20,500 deda.
Get a grip. Have a stiff drink and a soothing lie-down. You’ve become hysterical…though maybe you are always this way?
2020/2021 CV can easily become 10s of milions by some esttimates
Right and as for Northern Italy they are a sickly crew – studies have been conducted in recent years to find out why such a high morbidity with seasonal flu and other viruses and in the cases of coronavirus, it turns out is only about 12% of the cases attributed to coronavirus when you drill down the data. All the victims had comorbidity – other diseases that contributed or could have caused the death.
Article was written Jan 11, 2020… really, Imbecile? lol.
It is, it is a conspiracy…… PLEASE watch this video….. …https://t.co/xMvsBkgEak
All the panicked people reading this and thinking about the coronavirus need to take a chill pill and STOP watching the news.
The flu kills about 6 times more people worldwide every year than the coronavirus has, and yet we don’t go into lockdowns then.
All of this has been caused by the news media spreading panic, by the WHO who have been dying for a ‘pandemic’ for years and are now pushing this as they want more funding, and by politicians kowtowing to their idiot citizens who are terrified of a virus that won’t kill most of them and so are shutting down borders.
The world is now in a depression the likes of which we have never seen before. Millions of people will die due to the economic crisis. Many more people will die than would ever have died of the coronavirus.
Yet sheeple are still terrified of a virus that only kills 1% of the people that get it.
I can’t wait to hear their whining when they are all unemployed and can’t afford to put food on the table or a roof over their heads. When that happens — THE CORONAVIRUS DID NOT CAUSE IT — YOU, YOUR PANIC AND THE NEWS MEDIA CREATING PANIC AND HYSTERIA CAUSED THIS ECONOMIC COLLAPSE. Sheeple. You’re all stupid.
You are exactly right!! Thank you!!
Anyone who does not know what is really happening, they need to humble themselves and learn. The media will not tell the truth, for they are owned by the same people who are behind this effort to destroy western civilization and bring us all into a new world order. It’s just beginning, but the vaccine that is coming will connect you to the internet, they will be able to monitor your thoughts. It is the biblical mark of the beast in our lifetime.
LOL Do you idiots still think this “virus” is more contagious than the flu? Read below and then think about it (don’t think too hard please).

Hello! Sheep! Where have you gone!? HELLLO???!!!
These numbers here.. you do realize they might be lower because we basically had most countries at home shut down for two months to decrease a spread?
