What's really going on with flu this winter?

The latest news on this winter's flu season suggests that while concerns were raised about a potentially severe flu strain, the reality seems to be in line with a typical flu season. Experts note a slight edge in the virus's ability to evade immunity, affecting mostly children and young adults. Despite early worries about a mismatch with the flu vaccine, it is performing comparably to previous years. While claims of a "superflu" or "unprecedented wave" were made, experts caution against hyperbolic descriptions, emphasizing that this year's flu is not significantly different from past seasons.
