Flu surged in the United States after Thanksgiving, bringing the most severe week yet in a season that hit the county extra early
New data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that there have been at least 13 million illnesses, 120,000 hospitalizations, and 7,300 deaths from flu so far this season. The latest update captures data through December 3 and is the first full week of data post-Thanksgiving.
Last year’s flu season was relatively mild, but the number of flu illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths that have been reported so far in the current season have already surpassed the total number recorded throughout the entirety of last season. Hospitals are more full now than they’ve been throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a CNN analysis of data from the US Department of Health and Human Services.

Frontiers | Flocking to fire: How climate and natural hazards shape human migration across the United StatesAs global climate change progresses, the United States (US) is expected to experience warmer temperatures as well as more frequent and severe extreme weather events, including heat waves, hurricanes, and wildfires. Each year, these events cost dozens of lives and do billions of dollars’ worth of damage, but there has been limited research on how they influence human decisions about migration. Are people moving towards or away from areas most at risk from these climate threats? Here, we examine recent (2010 to 2020) trends in human migration across the US in relation to features of the natural landscape and climate, as well as frequencies of various natural hazards. Controlling for socioeconomic and environmental factors, we found that people have moved away from areas most affected by heat waves and hurricanes, but towards areas most affected by wildfires. This relationship may suggest that, for many, the dangers of wildfires do not yet outweigh the perceived benefits of life in fire-prone areas. We also found that people have been moving towards metropolitan areas with relatively hot summers, a dangerous public health trend if mean and maximum temperatures continue to rise, as projected in most climate scenarios. These results have implications for policymakers and planners as they prepare strategies to mitigate climate change and natural hazards in areas attracting migrants.
