As the coronavirus spreads, what kind of flu season is it shaping up to be?
Cole County Health’s Chezney Schulte says, as of early December, she had only been informed of eight influenza cases.
“I also just wonder if people are symptomatic with flu-like symptoms, getting tested for COVID-19, they’re happy with a negative COVID-19 result, and never seek care for flu-like symptoms.”
Schulte says her department had already seen 24 flu cases by the start of December 2019.
