There is a slight increase in February, but are less infected with influenza overall

Currently, the most common type of influenza H3N2 is followed by H1N1 (swine flu) and type B
The Center for Disease Control United States ( CDC ) reported that cases of influenza increased slightly in February, but that overall, fewer people are infected during the winter season last year.
In February 2010 40.618 hospitalizations were reported, while this year there is only 8.227. The CDC indicates that the most common type of influenza H3N2 is followed by H1N1 (swine flu) and influenza type B. The severity and morbidity has decreased greatly from 1.994 deaths reported through February 2010 to 115 deaths during the same period of 2011.
"When we look at doctor visits for flu-like symptoms, when we see the hospitalizations, the numbers are lower than what we observe in the 2008-09 influenza season and at the same level as during the 2007-08" said the epidemic was responsible for monitoring the CDC, Dr. Shikha Garg . "Last year, the prevalence was very high because the population had no immunity and the number of physician visits were the highest recorded since the CDC began monitor the behavior of the Influeza "he said.
According to the Weekly Report Morbidity and Mortality of CDC published on 18 February, 50 states and the District of Columbia reported positive cases of influenza. 19 states have reported "high" levels of infection, nine have been "moderate" levels and 10 states are "low." Twelve states have levels of contamination "minimal", but most, 37 states indicate that influenza activity is "widespread."
In California the spread of flu is "widespread", that is, they are everywhere.
Hospitalization for the flu is worse among children and seniors than last year, in contrast when the H1N1 attacked mainly young people.
Children under four have been hospitalized at a rate of 14.5 per 100,000 people, while adults over 65 years the proportion is 18.8 per 100.000.
Risk factors that complicate influenza infections are chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes and overweight.
