from ECDC: On Air · host European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control

On this episode, we speak with Pasi Penttinen, ECDC expert on coronavirus and influenza. Pasi discusses the reasons why there have been hardly any cases of flu recently, what to expect from the upcoming flu season, and whether the COVID-19 pandemic is really ‘just like a bad flu season’. “In the worst years, we have more than 200,000 people dying in Europe as a result of influenza. Is this really something we should accept as a society?” Please visit the dedicated ECDC pages for the flu here. You can find additional information via Flu News Europe.
