If you asked Dr. Hendrix this question two weeks ago, he would have had a very different answer. But numbers from even the last few days still show steadily climbing rates, with a spike last week in every Florida county. "Over the weekend, it looked like things were declining," he says. "We were still seeing 200 patients a day [at Centra Care Urgent Care], but Monday came around and we were at 279 patients." That number, 279, sets a new Centra Care record for the number of flu patients treated in a single day. (The old record, 271, was set just last week.) As for when we can expect those numbers to fall, that's anyone's guess. But even after flu season has peaked, Dr. Hendrix warns there's still a ways to go: "We're right in the thick of flu season. There's at least another 10-12 weeks of flu activity left. It's not going away anytime soon."
