It has been assured that the activity of influenza in the U. S was quite under control for the sixth week and that the most important flu indicators were pushed well under the baseline of the pandemic threshold. It is a notable fact that the number deaths that had the cause as influenza and pneumonia in the sixth week was about 7.7 per cent which was actually a little higher than the 7.3 per cent which was seen in the fifth week.

The activity seems to be under control as the baseline for week six according to the CDC or the Centers for Disease Control, which is also the federal centre for prevention of these diseases, is about 7.8 per cent.

It has also been reported that the threshold of the epidemic is actually a little higher than the normal percentage for that time period as it is determined with only the details of the past seasons that were ridden with the flu. It is almost the same for cases which visit the doctors with illnesses that are quite similar to influenza as the number remained at about 2.1 per cent for the sixth week which is a little lesser than the baseline 2.3 per cent.
