Li said local health unit data suggests the flu “is the primary respiratory virus circulating in the region at this time. “Because we have not had significant flu circulation in the past two winters, people may be more susceptible to influenza infection than usual. We are currently seeing more cases of flu in the LGL region, and earlier in the year than in typical winter respiratory seasons,” Li said.Estimates vary, from hundreds to thousands of Canadians dying from flu infections per year, Li said, depending on the severity of the flu season.

Tested positive for the flu. Died of something else but we won't tell you. But get your flu shot. Great article 🤔

After testing positive does that mean they died from it or they died from something else

BTW National Post, « pregnant people » as you describe them in this article are called women. It’s pretty simple, and basic biology.

Sad... but not news.

I see the headline has been changed from the original inflammatory one. Hmmmmm

Vaxxed and boosted?

What wasn't influenza wiped with phony covid ?
