There's a very different strain of flu going around America this Winter. Take heed!
It’s sad when so many people die and are very young and dying from the flu.
Here’s a few nuggets from GoogleAi for us consider:
Asymptomatic influenza infections can range from 8% to 28% of all influenza infections, depending on the study and the population being studied.
Age
The prevalence of asymptomatic infections varies by age group. For example, in one study, 8% of people ages 0–17 were asymptomatic, compared to 5% of people ages 50 and older.
The prevalence of asymptomatic infections can vary by season. For example, in one study, the prevalence of asymptomatic infections was highest in the 2021–2022 and 2022–2023 seasons.
People who are vaccinated against the flu are less likely to be asymptomatic than people who are not vaccinated.
Study design
The definition of infection and symptomatic illness, and the study design, can affect estimates of the asymptomatic fraction.
In this day and age that’s not a wild question.
