CDC estimates* that, from October 1, 2019, through February 15, 2020, there have been: 29,000,000 – 41,000,000 flu illnesses
13,000,000 – 19,000,000 flu medical visits
280,000 – 500,000 flu hospitalizations
16,000 – 41,000 flu deaths
*Because influenza surveillance does not capture all cases of flu that occur in the U.S., CDC provides these estimated ranges to better reflect the larger burden of influenza. These estimates are calculated based on CDC’s weekly influenza surveillance data and are preliminary.
