Record-breaking flu season tests Americans, who lean on rest, deliveries and vaccines to cope
The U.S. is in a record-breaking flu season, with the CDC reporting about 19 million illnesses and thousands of deaths from a new subclade K. Personal stories show people coping by resting for days, using meal delivery services and streaming to pass the time, and relying on vaccines and antivirals like Tamiflu and Xofluza. The season appears to be easing from its winter peak, but the impact has been widespread across ages and professions.
