Two children die from the flu in Kentucky
Half of states are reporting especially intense flu activity.
According to health officials, there's no region of the state where people were being spared from the flu. A little less than half of those - 1,750 - were during the first week of January.
Seasonal influenza is now widespread across the continental United States, causing severe illness and rising numbers of hospitalizations, but this year's outbreak may be peaking, government health officials said on Friday.
As we continue to see the number of people diagnosed with the flu increase we are also seeing pharmacies running low and in some cases running out of the antiviral drugs used to shorten the duration of the flu.
The worst flu season in years is only getting worse, with 49 states now seeing widespread misery, US health officials report.
It's no secret by now that the flu vaccine is not a good match with the H3N2 flu strain that is dominating the season.
He says that could mean younger people, who are more susceptible to catching the B strain, may get sick earlier, but it's hard to predict what the rest of the flu season will look like.

And some hospitals in the San Francisco Bay Area are limiting visitors under the age of 16 as a precaution, since young people can be more vulnerable to effects of the flu.
"Flu is everywhere in the US right now".
For those who haven't gotten the flu, health officials recommend getting the vaccine, washing their hands often and avoiding close with anyone coughing or sneezing. The flu season is typically at its worst around February.
So far, 20 children have died from the flu, compared with a total of 101 last season.
He also noted that it's not yet clear how effective this year's vaccine has been, particularly with the A strain. But most people in California and the rest of the country are catching a particularly risky strain of influenza that the vaccine typically doesn't work well against. We know that B viruses will be showing up later in the season. So even though it takes two weeks for the vaccine to start protecting people after they get vaccinated, it's still worthwhile to get vaccinated, they say. That strain tends to make more people sick, and the people who get the flu tend to get sicker.
"While our flu vaccine is far from ideal, it is still the best defense we have", Fitzgerald says.
