2019/9 CDC: Flu Deaths Rise To 2,100 Nationwide In 2019 (1 Mai 2019 Jahr – 31 Dez 2019 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

据美国媒体报道，美国27年以来首次再现致命乙型流感病毒，根据美国疾病预防控制中心（CDC）最新数据：2019年到2020年全美范围已有1300万人感染，造成至少6600人死亡，加州、纽约均在高危城市之列，堪称过去40年最致命流感之一。

目前全美50个州里，有48个州出现流感疫情，其中32个州流感活动水平维持高位，人口密集的纽约、华盛顿和加州无一幸免、纷纷中招。

其中路易斯安那州疫情尤为严重，且此次乙型流感对儿童的影响大于成人。新奥尔良一家儿科护理机构数据显示，去年7月31日到11月21日期间，儿童确诊1268例乙型流感，其中23例住院。据当地媒体报道，有的孩子甚至因为感冒引起脑水肿，压迫视神经造成失明。CDC统计数据显示，截至目前，已有39名儿童因流感丧生。

目前，美国医院已经限制访客，以控制流感的传播。一些医院正在采取额外的措施来防止病毒的传播。如果是没有注射过流感疫苗或是来医院的访客须戴口罩才能进入。因为疫情严重，威斯康星州的儿童医院已经开始禁止12岁以下的儿童来医院问诊，需要医疗帮助的儿童只能在线咨询。

CDC表示，此次流感季主要受乙型维多利亚系流感病毒侵袭。但最近几周的情况表明，甲型流感病例正“赶上”乙型流感病例。2019年9月起的数据显示，此次美国流感季中，甲型流感病例占43.3%，乙型流感为56.7%。

在2018至2019流感季中，共有440万人感染，3500人死亡。而在2017至2018年流感季中，共有2100万人美国人患上流感，6.1万人因此丧命，为十年来最高。CDC指出，目前流感季还处于初期，无法断言患病人数会继续增加还是已经达到顶峰。但《纽约时报》称，今年流感季开始时间早于往年。从去年11月起，美国南部的乔治亚州和得克萨斯州等就开始受到流感病毒侵袭。

(CBS Local) — Flu-like illnesses are on the rise and have been elevated for seven weeks across all regions of the country, according to CDC’s latest FluView report.

The report estimates that flu has caused at least 4.6 million flu illnesses, 39,000 hospitalizations and 2,100 deaths since the season began in September. That’s 300 more deaths than the previous week.

The CDC says there have been 22 pediatric flu deaths so far this season, including three more children last week. Nearly a quarter of reported pediatric deaths this season have been in children younger than six months old, who are too young to be vaccinated


The most recently released CDC flu activity map looks a bit different than just a few weeks ago.

New York City and the District of Columbia are also experiencing high levels of ILI activity.
