The flu epidemic was early and severe in Australia this year – a harbinger of the beginning of the season here too? This is what we know about the data.
It was still summer here when the professional association of pediatricians and adolescents, among others, warned of a serious wave of flu this winter. In Australia, the number of cases rose early and significantly, and that was “usually a sure alarm sign,” said association president Thomas Fischbach in August. It is undoubtedly right to be prepared for a difficult season – always and also before this winter. Unfortunately, it is not true that Australia, with its approaching influenza season due to its location in the southern hemisphere, is a really reliable measure of what threatens us about six months later. Only sometimes it works.
