TORONTO -- As concerns about coronavirus continue to rise, another -- more familiar -- respiratory illness is in full swing in Canada: there have been 29,023 laboratory detections of the common flu within the last six months, according to the latest data.put out by Health Canada on Friday reveals that influenza activity is higher than it was in December, with 51 of the country's 52 health regions reporting at least sporadic cases.

Thirty-eight people have died of influenza in Canada since August, according to the FluWatch report. In that time, 1,358 influenza-associated hospitalizations occurred. The increase in the intensity of the flu this year could be down to an unusual overlap between different flu strains., Dr. Colin Lee said that usually the influenza A strain and B strain appear at different times of year, but “are somehow coming [simultaneously]” this year. They are the two dominant flu strains, and influenza B normally circulates slightly later in the year than influenza A.

The nice thing about having the flu this time around is nobody wants to talk to me and less small talk is fantastic
