Will the U.S. flu hospitalization rate per 100,000 in Week 20 be between 85 and 90? Prediction Market OddsThe U.S. cumulative influenza-associated hospitalization rate is expected to fall between 85 and 90 per 100,000 people for Week 20, according to the forthcoming CDC FluView update based on FluSurv-NET surveillance data.
The figure would reflect the continued burden of the flu season as federal health officials track hospital admissions tied to confirmed influenza cases across participating surveillance sites. The Week 20 reading will serve as a key late-season benchmark for public health agencies assessing the severity and trajectory of influenza activity nationwide.
The CDC’s FluView report, scheduled for release around May 29, will provide the official hospitalization rate along with broader indicators such as outpatient illness, laboratory positivity, and geographic spread.
