Between October 1, 2020, and April 10, 2021, FluSurv-NET sites in 14 states reported 220 laboratory confirmed influenza hospitalizations for an overall cumulative hospitalization rate of 0.8 per 100,000 population. This is much lower than average for this point in the season and lower than rates for any season since routine data collection began in 2005, including the low severity 2011-12 season. The current rate is one-eighth the rate at this time during the 2011-12 season.
Based on NCHS mortality surveillance data available on April 15, 2021, 11.2% of the deaths that occurred during the week ending April 10, 2021 (week 14), were due to pneumonia, influenza, and/or COVID-19 (PIC). This percentage is above the epidemic threshold of 6.9% for week 14. Among the 2,100 PIC deaths reported for this week (week 14), 1,382 had COVID-19 listed as an underlying or contributing cause of death on the death certificate, and zero listed influenza, indicating that current PIC mortality is due primarily to COVID-19 and not influenza.
