A report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 47 U.S. states report widespread flu activity.
The CDC assumes that the epidemic may be at its peak. Flu activity is considered "high" in 24 states and "moderate" in 16 states. This year´s flu appears to be more severe than last year.
"In fact, a number of patients have required mechanical ventilation due to difficulty breathing. We have also seen a number of children under the age of 5 with severe symptoms including muscle aches along with vomiting," Dr. Robert Glatter says.
