CDC Warns Illnesses Caused by Respiratory Viruses on the Rise Across US

CDC Warns Illnesses Caused by Respiratory Viruses on the Rise Across US

by Jack Phillips
December 24, 2024

(The Epoch Times)—U.S. health officials have warned that respiratory virus activity is on the rise, with overall activity trending at moderate levels across the United States.

Influenza has risen about 5.1 percent week-over-week, according to the most recent update issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Dec. 20.


  • Not All “Survival Food” Supplies Are Created Equal


In a notice issued on Dec. 20, the CDC said that “emergency department visits with diagnosed RSV are high,” while hospital emergency room visits for influenza and COVID-19 are low nationally. However, officials have said that influenza cases are currently ticking upward in about a dozen states.

A data-based map published by the CDC also shows that the majority of states are at moderate levels for respiratory infections. Three states—Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Tennessee—are seeing high levels of infections, according to the map.

Around the United States, test positivity for influenza increased to 9 percent, COVID-19 “increased slightly” to 5.6 percent, and RSV positivity increased to 9.5 percent, the CDC said.

The agency separately said that seasonal flu activity is continuing to increase, while saying that COVID-19 is “predicted to increase” in the coming days.

For the flu, the virus has “been increasing at a pretty steady pace now for the past several weeks,” said CDC researcher Alicia Budd on Dec. 20. “We are certainly in flu season now,” she added.

Thirteen states reported high or very high levels of flu-like illness last week, about double from the week before. One is Tennessee, where a sickness spike is hitting the Nashville area, said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious diseases expert at Vanderbilt University.

“Flu has been increasing but just this last week has exploded,” Schaffner said. He noted that in a local clinic that serves as an indicator of illness trends, as many as a quarter of the patients have flu symptoms.

Overall, RSV activity is moderate nationally “and continues to increase in most areas of the United States, particularly in young children,” the agency said.

China controls 90% of all pharmaceutical ingredients used in the US. Don’t wait for the supply chain to break or for pharmacies to run out. Stock up on long-term storage antibiotics and prescription meds with Jase.

The CDC called the start of flu season based on several indicators, including lab results for patients in hospitals and doctor’s offices, and the percentage of emergency department visits that had a discharge diagnosis of flu.

No flu strain seems to be dominant, and it’s too early in the season to know how good of a match the flu vaccine will be, Budd said.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry

For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.

I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.

After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:

  • Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
  • Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
  • No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
