CASES of a "super flu" that leaves sufferers with "brains like porridge" are soaring, officials data suggests.

In England, suspected cases of the bug climbed to 1,178 in the week ending December 10, more than triple the 370 confirmed a fortnight ago. Flu cases began rising significantly in October but still appear lower than last year, according to suspected cases from the notification of infectious diseases data (NOID) report.

Around 402 patients were in hospital with flu last week, up two-thirds on the 243 the previous week and more than double the 153 a fortnight ago, NHS data shows.

People suffering from the viral infection have warned it feels like the "worst flu [they have] ever had".

However, there is no scientific evidence to suggest flu circulating this season is any worse than previous bouts.

Branch Covidians are reorganizing ahead of the 2024 election. MAIL-IN BALLOTS are the only cure.

400 in hospital out of 56 million.

Why haven’t they shut down their economy, closed their schools, and made everybody stay home?

But is it as bad as the ‘rocking pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu’?

That’s what I was thinking, that it sounds like what we used to call “bottle flu”.

Just to be safe, Biden has started to wear a mask to combat this flu. But it looks like he lost the directions Fauci gave him.

Every flu is "the worst flu you have ever had" while you are going through it.

You are sick. It is no fun.
