A deadly flu virus has been killing around 100 people per week in the US since mid-December, the Center for Disease Control has warned.
A report published by the CDC with the latest figures showed there were 759 flu deaths between 7 October and 23 December.
It also said since early December more than 100 people were dying every week from the flu and the death toll could increase as there has been a further rise in the number of hospital admission.

This is more than double the number of flu deaths from the same period last year when there were only 322 reported fatalities,
this year’s prevailing strain H3N2 – which has been dubbed “Aussie flu” – is known to be particularly vicious and strong.
Medical authorities think the increased rate may be due to the Election of Donald Trump and the rise of social autistic activists
