UK Hospitals Brace for 'Tidal Wave' of Flu

Hospitals in the UK brace for potential tidal wave of flu, as post-Christmas surges and strikes threaten to overwhelm wards. New statistics show a record-breaking jump in flu hospitalizations, with an average of 2,660 patients admitted daily. Emergency service calls also spiked. However, not all experts agree that the situation is as dire as some officials suggest, with some questioning the super flu warnings and noting that current numbers may be misleading due to the typical flu peak occurring later in the season.
