This year’s flu season is already raising alarms among public health officials and infectious disease experts.

According to the BBC, the U.K.’s National Health Service (NHS) has issued an “SOS” warning amid growing concern that this winter could bring one of the most severe influenza waves in recent memory.

“This flu season is going to be unusually bad,” Dr. Jacob Glanville, CEO of Centivax, a San Francisco biotechnology company, told Fox News Digital. “Britain is getting hit earlier and harder, with cases triple compared to last year.”

Australia reportedly experienced its worst-ever flu season in 2024, a pattern that has often foreshadowed what’s to come in the Northern Hemisphere.

In the United States, early indicators point in that same direction.
