flu deaths

"The closure of Australian borders to international travellers also provided far fewer opportunities for people to bring the flu into the country from overseas.Vaccination rates have also jumped, according to data from the federal health department, which showed from March to mid-July this year, 8.8 million doses of influenza vaccines were dispensed.That is 2 million doses more than were administered in the same period last year.What is not clear is what impact this will have on next year's flu season, and whether having so few people experiencing the flu this year might make things worse in future. "What it's telling us is that many of the measures that are working to contain the spread of COVID-19 within the community are also very effective at reducing transmission of influenza," he said.In total, from January to the end of June 2019, more than 132,000 people were diagnosed with the flu. "They've all seen marked reductions in influenza cases so far this season." The death rate from seasonal flu is typically around 0.1% in the U.S., according to news reports. After each flu season, the CDC considers in-hospital death data and investigates death certificates to account for the total flu deaths. "It also depends on what happens in terms of socialising in communities, how early a COVID-19 vaccine is available and what happens overseas," he said.Australia is not the only country seeing the benefits of COVID-19 social distancing when it comes to the circulation of other respiratory illnesses. The flu's death rate varies depending on the strains circulating each year. Most infections happen in winter,” the health department states.“Each year, the influenza virus changes and different strains can circulate in the population.”In a statement to news.com.au today, a Department of Health spokesman said: “There have been no laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated deaths reported to the NNDSS since those reported in the Australian Influenza Surveillance Report number 3, week ending 17 May 2020.”The NNDSS was notified of 486 influenza-associated deaths out of 214,377 cases by August 11, 2019 – considered a particularly severe flu year.Notifications of laboratory confirmed influenza in Australia for 2020 can be seen in red.

This year, almost 21,000 people were diagnosed during the same period.Closing schools, maintaining physical distancing and boosting hand hygiene have all contributed to the massive decline in flu diagnoses and deaths.
