At a time when everyone has forgotten winter, it may come as a surprise that there are still three weeks left to flu season. The percentage of outpatient visits due to influenza in Idaho is currently less than a half a percent; however that's not news. What is notable is this flu season has been the second deadliest ever for Idaho.
The flu death toll for 2017-18 is 99 and the season is not yet over. The only deadlier Idaho flu season in recorded history for was the Spanish Flu of 1918-19. Several hundred Idahoans died, though an exact total is not available since not all communities reported their dead.
The notable thing about this flu season is the rather-average rate of outpatient visits compared to the number of deaths.
