Week 8 NYC:
Nosocomial Respiratory Outbreak Reporting
There were no new reported outbreaks of influenza at long term care facilities this week. Since December 1,
there have been 42 known outbreaks of influenza A at long-term care facilities, with over 269 residents
affected, 62 (23%) known hospitalizations and five (2%) reported deaths.
(JimO comment - I had never seen this report from NYC before and they clearly identify 5 fatalities that are not included in reported pediatric fatalities. After looking back, I do see that Missouriwatcher had highlighted these deaths in earlier posts.)
